The Geography: Place, People and Environment major gives students the skills to address the greatest challenges of their time, including climate change, sustainable development, economic inequality, resource conflict, social and environmental justice, decolonisation, and community well-being. University of Tasmania offers them exciting opportunities to experience first-hand this island’s diverse and unique cultures, places, peoples, landscapes and environments. Real-world and hands-on learning experiences equip them with geographical techniques essential for complex problem-solving and devising place-based solutions at different scales.

Students will develop skills for 21st century jobs that require flexibility, innovative thinking and lifelong learning. They will learn to: critically assess, research and integrate arguments and information; work ethically, independently and in teams; and engage in ongoing professional development. Students will expand their knowledge of environments and peoples, and the ways they interact from the local to the global. They will graduate with expertise relevant to government policy, social and economic planning, political advocacy, environmental management, natural and cultural conservation, and community development.
