Study Pathways with Human Geography
Are you interested in:
The teaching program in Human Geography at Macquarie University offers five main strands. The University's flexible approach to teaching and study allows for diverse study of several different strands or concentration on a single strand. Academic staff are always available for advice when designing a program to suit your individual needs. Three 300-level Human Geography units completes a coherency (major). This page is available as a Study Pathways .pdf page.
