About this program
The University of Western Australia's Bachelor of Geographical and Spatial Science degree. The Bachelor of Geographical and Spatial Science has a focus on understanding the environmental processes including climate and hydrology that interact with landscapes, people and drive economies, including broader geography principles, demography and regional development. This hands-on degree will involve significant learning in the field, laboratory activities, acquisition of advanced spatial data, and fundamental problem-solving skills to understand and recommend solutions to environmental issues. Key outcomes include the ability to demonstrate broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge of core geographical concepts to understand human and physical environments and apply well-developed cognitive, creative and communication skills in diverse contexts. Upon completion you will develop strong Geographic Information Systems (GIS), advanced remote sensing and spatial analysis skills that are under high demand by employers.
