Learn how to respond to our society's social and environmental challenges to acquire a forward-looking scientific approach to solving societal issues.
The bachelor's degree in geography is characterized by a strong focus on current issues facing our society (migration, environment, agro-ecological transition, spatial epidemiology...) and a desire to engage students in building tomorrow's society for the well-being of its citizens.
He tells you about geography
The geography course at Namur is very practical! We went out into the field to analyze landscapes, study rocks, observe watercourses... We tried to understand why cities were established in such and such a place, how they developed over time, why they gave rise to such and such an activity... We also traveled to discover new eco-initiatives such as an "eco-neighborhood" in the Netherlands: a community that has decided to live differently, consuming little fossil energy, using local vegetable gardens, a few cars for the whole neighborhood, eating locally and ensuring a stronger social and community life. In short, an active, forward-looking training program!

.The curriculum
Are you hesitating between geography and geology?
No problem. The first block is common to both courses. You can therefore choose the program that suits you best afterwards, and opt for a course either at the crossroads of the natural sciences and the humanities, where human-environment-society interactions are studied in detail (bachelier en géographie), or focused on the earth sciences, where the management of mineral resources is apprehended in space and time (bachelor's degree in geology).
