Minor in Geography [30.0]

Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The minor aims to provide students with an introduction to geographical problems and methods, in particular the study of the interaction between human activities, geographical space and the natural environment. This additional training attempts to embrace a variety of disciplines and approaches and the course aims to include the human and physical aspects of geography which contribute to the formation of landscapes.

Admission

Retour en début de pageAdmission Requirements

The minor in geography is intended for students who hold a baccalaureate and who have basic training in science and, if possible, economics. It is thus open to all holders of baccalaureates in science and engineering science. It is also open, subject to the approval of the conseiller aux études (course adviser), to students who have received adequate training in basic sciences.
