DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY
M.Sc. Geography
Geography is a dynamic subject which provides new horizons in the world. Students who complete Geography courses will examine the spatial organization of physical features and human activities at a variety of spatial scales from local to global. It will be able to locate features on the surface of the earth, explain why they are located where they are, and describe how places are similar and/or different. They completion of M.Sc geography courses will be able to describe the processes that drive earth’s climate, create landforms, and govern the distribution of plants and animals and describe cultural phenomenon such as population, development, agriculture, language, and religion. Geographers can be placed as urban planners, GIS technicians and analysts, disaster preparedness planners, teachers, environmental scientists, remote sensing analysts, transportation planners, demographers, hydrologists and in multi fold areas.
