BA/BSc Geography at University of Bremen

Geography is a spatial science which can be pursued both as a natural science as well as a social and human science. It is the investigation of the geo-ecosphere on the one hand, and of society and its spatial claims on our physical environment on the other. Physical Geography examines the influence of natural geofactors on the human habitat, whereas human geography analyses human activities, the resulting spatial structures and the processes which steer these.

Studies in Geography provide a broad-based, theoretically grounded and methodically oriented training with state-of-the-art content and inputs. In addition to this, students have ample opportunity to select specific issues and areas of geography to suit their individual interests, to pursue these with a high degree of independence and to build their own individual profile.
