In its most general sense, geography is the science of the Earth's surface. Geographers study the nature and origins of Earth's surface features and their association as landscapes. Physical Geography, which is the core of a BSc in Geography, is the science of Earth's natural (as distinct from cultural) features. It is therefore closely related to many other natural sciences, such as geology, pedology, botany, zoology, meteorology, and oceanography.

Physical geography is distinctive for treating the components of the natural world in their association. It is a holistic science, studying natural systems in their entirety; it is the science of the environment. Applied physical geography investigates the interaction of natural and cultural systems, contributing to our responsible use of 'the environment'.

Entry Requirements

All students must have a university entrance qualification, see Massey University undergraduate entry requirements. It is useful (but not compulsory) to have a background in secondary school geography.

This degree program provides students with a broad education in arts, with specialization in two subjects.

Students are required to complete 15 upper-level credits in each of their two areas of concentration. TRU-OL offers many courses that fulfill the degree requirements, although students may have to take courses at other institutions to meet the requirements of some concentrations. Students may be required to complete additional courses before being eligible for graduate programs in their subjects of specialization.

Entry Requirements

CQUniversity’s Bachelor of Agribusiness and Food Security will provide well-trained agricultural and horticultural graduates with a nationally recognised qualification that integrates knowledge and skills science as well as business.

As climate change, challenges in food production, and rapid urban growth place an ever-increasing pressure on agricultural industries, food security has now emerged as a global issue. These challenges have created a demand for skilled professionals and there are excellent career prospects for students.

In your first year of study you will gain the basic science and business knowledge and skills required to understand agricultural based enterprises. Advanced level courses in the second year provide you with knowledge of sustainable food and fibre production, the food production chain and value adding for agricultural products, the economics of primary production industries, managing water resources, and the use of technology in agriculture. Final year courses look at business finance, ensuring the security of food production systems, how plants function in the environment and precision livestock management. You can then choose from a range of electives in business, science or geography to provide in-depth knowledge of factors that affect agricultural businesses and the provision of a secure food supply.

Benefit from the flexibility to study on-campus or by distance education. The option to study part-time enables you to take advantage of the many employment opportunities in the agriculture industry while you study.
