About the Programme
The MA Geography course offers a total of twenty-two modules (fifteen theory base and seven practical) covering all major essential aspects of Geography, initiating students to discover their potential to grow further in specialized fields of geography. The programme follows NEP guidelines and focuses on developing research and practical skills.
The curriculum offers a balanced physical geography, human geography, and robust practical features to spot human-environment, natural-social interactions, and collectively developed geographical understanding since geography is mainly a field-based discipline. Students can build up their explanatory abilities through great involvement in the Geography Lab where they can learn spatial innovation by using technology. The programme also uses spatial techniques and technologies to extract geographic information to assist in human progression for a better living place and assert responsibility for the environment.
