BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (GEOGRAPHY & NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, WITH I.T.)

Course Description

This interdisciplinary program combines geographical sciences with natural resource management enhanced by information technology. Students will learn to analyze spatial patterns, manage ecosystems, and apply geospatial technologies for sustainable resource utilization. The curriculum integrates GIS, remote sensing, and data analytics with traditional field methods in geography and environmental management.

Expectations

Students will master geospatial technologies (ArcGIS, QGIS), remote sensing tools, and environmental data analysis. The program emphasizes skills in digital mapping, resource monitoring systems, and spatial decision-making for sustainable development. Graduates will be equipped to address environmental challenges through technology-driven solutions.

Market Areas

Graduates can work as GIS specialists in environmental consultancies, natural resource analysts in government agencies, conservation technology officers in NGOs, or spatial data scientists in research institutions. Emerging opportunities exist in smart agriculture, climate change modeling, and urban sustainability planning.
