Geography is a way of seeing the world focused on people, place, the environment and the interconnections between all three. Its roots lie in the exploration and description of Earth and its peoples at global, regional and local scales. Discovering how the world works and our roles within it are at the foundation of a discipline that aims to develop globally informed and spatially sensitive citizens. The Geography curriculum combines courses that emphasise thematic sub-fields and spatial skills; the three year programme introduces foundational studies at stage 1, specialised study in sub-fields at stage 2 and integrative and detailed study at stage 3. The student that emerges with a Geography degree from UCD should have a thorough grasp of the the traditions and skills that underpin geographic understanding and its relevance to exploring the modern world. Geography is often considered a bridge subject that connects the physical and human sciences and as such it complements a great many other disciplinary subjects.
