This programme gives students the freedom to design a degree with an arts base that combines subjects and feel passionate about with those that broaden their career options. A BA is prized by employers and students because it is a flexible degree yet teaches specific skills. Students will develop analytical abilities, research experience, strong written and verbal communication skills, and a broader perspective on the world and its various cultures.
Geography at Waikato is distinctive in its focus on human geography. We offer papers in environmental planning, and geographic information systems as well as in social and cultural geography. A number of the papers have particular emphasis on Māori and feminist perspectives, and the social, economic and political processes that produce them.
