Bachelor in Geography : General
-
Schedule
regular course
- ECTS Credits 180
From the very first year, alongside basic training in scientific subjects, you study the fundamentals of geography (cartography, territorial analysis...) and geology (mineralogy, plate tectonics...).
You delve deeper into the fields in which geography is developing (economic geography, geographic information systems, ecology...) and learn to master specific subjects such as remote sensing, climatology, the geography of habitat and population, economics and geopolitics.
Throughout your training, you develop communication skills and the use of IT tools, and acquire a good understanding of scientific English.
Training rooted in sustainable development
UNamur's training in geographic sciences is part of a logic of transition towards sustainable and resilient spaces.
Learn how to respond to our society's social and environmental challenges (climate change, international migration, management of natural spaces and habitats, energy transition...) to acquire a scientific approach focused on the future and on resolving societal issues!
You're off to a good start
- you have a keen sense of observation;
- you have a facility for diagramming to reproduce in a simplified way what you observe;
- you feel at ease in science without necessarily having followed a strong program in humanity;
- you have a sensitivity for nature and easy social contact;
- you have a critical and synthesizing mind.
Teaching methods
Courses, exercise sessions, practical laboratory work, field days and internships... everything is done to ensure excellent mastery of concepts and the development of practical skills.
The geographical approach at the heart of the teaching project lies in the development of a capacity for systemic and multidisciplinary apprehension of geographical issues.
Organized in small groups, practical work helps you to assimilate the subjects in an adapted, high-quality framework. A project analyzing a spatial issue to be presented with your group, like a design office, enables you to acquire communication skills that will be very useful for your future profession as a geographer.
20 days in the field! Right from the start of the course, you'll take part in field days that illustrate the theoretical lessons, put you in real-life situations where you'll be putting your discipline to work, and familiarize you with the geographer's professional tools (GPS, drone...).
From the second year onwards, some of your courses are common to Blocks 2 and 3 to increase interaction and the sharing of experiences between students.
During the bachelor's degree, you can choose to take part in an associative project pursuing societal objectives (social justice, migration, environment...) or in the project of a company inserted in the social and solidarity economy and value your citizen commitment in the form of training credits.
The completion of your travail de fin de cycle prepares you for the final dissertation: you construct a research question identified according to your interests, for which you present an in-depth analysis of the scientific literature and develop a scientific methodology.
Two stays abroad of five days each are included in the curriculum, one in the French Alps and the other in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam...). They enable you to exercise your spatial analysis skills and gain insight into a wide range of regional planning issues in different environments.
Finally, you have the opportunity to compete for two prizes: the "Prix Ferraris" which rewards the best end-of-cycle work in geographical sciences at UNamur, and the "Prix de l'engagement" if, during your geography course at UNamur, you stand out from the students in your class through your involvement and commitment as a student and citizen.
International experience
Would you like to combine your studies with a unique cultural experience and/or language immersion?
It's possible thanks to the Erasmus program offered in the 3rd bachelor's block. You can carry out this study stay in Flanders, in Europe or outside Europe. Many destinations await you.
Success aids
Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.
To help you meet them, UNamur supports you in developing your disciplinary, methodological and human skills... with the support of numerous professionals.
Preparatory courses, individualized help... Discover the schemes set up for your training.
After the baccalauréat: the master's degree
A few months before the end of your bachelor's degree, a meeting with the heads of the various master's programs will help you decide what to do next.
Thanks to its diversity and the quality of its teaching methods, UNamur's bachelor's degree in geographic sciences opens the doors to all masters in geographic sciences in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and beyond (France, Luxembourg, Flanders, the Netherlands, Canada...) and enables you to specialize in specific themes: geomatics, environmental sciences and management, glaciology, demography, climatology, urban planning, geopolitics...
