Certificate in Arts in Geography

University of Canterbury

The Certificate in Arts (CertArts) is designed for you to study at university level without having to commit to several years of study. It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Study from a range of subjects which offer field trips, real-world case studies, projects, and more. Complete four standard courses of your choice at 100 and/or 200-level in no more than two subjects. This Certificate can be studied full-time in 6 months or part-time for up to 5 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Diploma in Arts or the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your credits to those degrees. Geography is the study of human behaviour, the environment we live in, and the relationship between both. This field combines arts and sciences to find innovative solutions to our society’s most pressing issues and debates, and the human response to these challenges, such as climate change, poverty, sustainability, health, and inequality. Study Involve: Explore different pathways in geography: physical geography, human geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and resource and environmental management. Practical workshops, labs, and fieldtrips to examine geographical processes outside of the classroom – including urban mobility and planning. You will get the opportunity to undertake research with community partners that supports resilient environments and communities through research.
