Learn how to address the social and environmental challenges facing our society and develop a scientific approach focused on the future and on solving societal issues!
The bachelor’s program in geography is characterized by a strong focus on the current challenges facing our society (migration, the environment, the agroecological transition, spatial epidemiology, etc.) and a commitment to engaging students in shaping the society of tomorrow for the well-being of its citizens.
They're telling you about geography
The geography course at Namur is very practical! We went out into the field to analyze landscapes, study rocks, observe watercourses... We tried to understand why cities were established in such and such a place, how they developed over time, why they gave rise to such and such an activity... We also traveled to discover new eco-initiatives such as an "eco-neighborhood" in the Netherlands: a community that has decided to live differently, consuming little fossil energy, using local vegetable gardens, a few cars for the whole neighborhood, eating locally and ensuring a stronger social and community life. In short, an active, forward-looking training program!

The curriculum
Can't decide between geography and geology?
No problem. The first block is the same for both programs. You can then choose the program that suits you best and focus on a track that lies at the intersection of the natural sciences and the humanities, where human-environment-society interactions are studied in detail (Bachelor’s in Geography), or one focused on Earth sciences, where the management of mineral resources is examined in both space and time (Bachelor’s in Geology).
