50 hours
10 ECTS credits

Aims and Summary

The aim of this module is to introduce students to the nature and spatial outcome of global processes in the human environment. The module will provide an understanding and contributions from scholars in the areas of demography, resource management, culture, economic systems and geopolitics. Students will be able to develop and link their awareness of various fields of human geography specifically studied in sustainable development and globalisation.

Specifically, the module emphasizes the interplay of human geography principles with the overarching themes of sustainable development and globalisation. As a result, students will not only develop a more profound grasp of these complex dynamics but also learn to critically analyze and apply their knowledge to address the real-world challenges and opportunities associated with contemporary global issues.
