Geography at UCC provides you with a wide understanding of the human, environmental and natural issues facing society with a focus on real-world questions, such as:
- Are the effects of climate change already visible, and what might its consequences be for societies?
- Why are civilisations and religions from different parts of the world clashing?
- How might intercultural understanding and dialogue be promoted?
- Why do natural hazards tend to affect some people (the poor, women, children, ethnic minorities) more than others?
- How do regional economies evolve over time and how can regions interact with an increasingly globalised economy?
- How can societies make better use of renewable energy and material resources?
- How can computer technologies help us understand and manage the world?
