The Department of Geography offers two programs of study at the first level of study: a single-subject program of study in geography and a double-subject program.
Graduates of the program acquire a foundation in the subject that according to international standards is considered essential knowledge in the field of geography. This allows them to identify and understand the natural and social processes shaping and reshaping the earth’s surface. They acquire basic knowledge from particular fields of geography that enable an understanding of the relationship between nature and society in space. A single-subject graduate acquires many skills in the field of geographic information systems, thematic cartography and other geographical methods.
The program of study at the first level lasts three years (six semesters) and comprises a total of 90 (double-subject program) or 180 (single-subject) credits.
P = Lectures; S = Seminars; V = Tutorials; D = Other forms of organized study work (practical training, observations, performances, field work, etc.); KT = ECTS credit (Credit points according to the European Credit Transfer System). 1 ECTS credit means 25 to 30 hours of student workload. Zimski = Winter; Letni = Summer; Celoletni = Full-year.
