The subject of this course is geography as a discipline, its practical uses and connection with other fields of study. Different forms of land use are studied, the consequences thereof and implications for the population. Special emphasis is the economy and the utilization of natural resources and how these are interrelated. Key concepts are globalisation, basic demography, food supply, problems of overpopulation, migration, urbanisation and changes in patterns of settlement in general, both domestically and globally. Student evaluation consists of a final examination at the end of term, which weighs in at 50% together with a wide range of student projects throughout the term, both individual and group work.
