The Bachelor's degree programme in Geography, Environment and Territory aims to provide students with thorough knowledge and skills in physical and human geography, and the applications thereof, with a view to equip them for the challenges posed by the sustainability goals of the UN Agenda 2030.

Thanks to this expertise, they will be able to thoroughly investigate the many factors influencing an area, in order to interpret environmental, social and cultural dynamics, and to provide solutions based on a trans-scalar approach, taking into account the correlations between those factors. During the programme, students are also taught to the theoretical and methodological foundations of physical geography, psychology, urban planning, anthropology, law, economics, sociology, history, philosophy and literature, becoming fully equipped to assess the multiple elements of human-nature interactions within a certain environment, territory or landscape, and how they have evolved over time and in different contexts.
