Curriculum
What will you learn?
Human Geography is a research field which focuses on studying the spatial behaviour of people, firms and organisations. Or, to put it simply, it is a study that observes the relationship between human activities and their spatial environment.
You will gain insight into the latest scientific debates in the field, and integrate knowledge from various related disciplines, such as Sociology, Psychology, International Relations, Economics, Business Administration and Development Studies.
Each specialisation requires a research internship to help you in the process of writing the thesis, and some specialisations include field excursions abroad to understand the practical implications of a theory.
