Bachelor of Arts in Geography and Urban Studies
Students in this major examine the geography of contemporary Australian cities and regions. Geography is the integrated study of people, places and environments.
The cutting edge interests of today’s Geographers include post-colonialism, the emergence of global information economies, indigenous issues, class and cultural disparities, population movement, sexuality and space, and the global diffusion of popular culture.
Urban Studies is a newer discipline focused on social justice within the city, through its critical assessments of peoples’ access to scarce urban resources, such as housing, transport, education and employment.
The political, economic, and cultural forces that shape cities and urban policy are the key concerns of the Urban Studies curriculum. These applied interests in urban well-being and city structure are the intellectual basis for the Urban Planning profession.
The Geography and Urban Studies major is a compulsory component of the University’s accredited Planning course.
