Geography Major

• Two first-year subjects in geography (25 points), including a Faculty interdisciplinary subject; and
• Second/third-year subjects in geography totalling 75 points, including three compulsory subjects and the remaining subjects chosen from the list of elective subjects.

Students who plan to complete two majors in the BA, in environmental studies and geography, should note that whilst they may complete Society and Environments for the purpose of satisfying the compulsory subject requirement in both majors, 100 separate points must still be completed in each major. This means that 100 points for each major must be achieved by counting 12.5 points for Society and Environments once only. An additional 12.5 points of study may be included from either environmental studies or geography.

Students who commenced their degree before 2007 will need to complete 112.5 points toward this major in order to complete the major. For the specific major structure you must follow, refer to the handbook produced in the year you commenced your degree, available online at http://www.unimelb.edu.au/HB/
