Graduate Admission

Overview

Geography and Resource Development (GRD) involves a holistic study of the interrelationships among the earth’s biophysical systems and how these systems provide natural resource base for human communities. Bridging the social with natural sciences, it analyses the relationship between human activities and the natural & built environment; their existing impacts and implications for sustainable resource use. GRD is rooted in Geography which examines the relationships between human society and the physical environment in two sub- fields: Human Geography - organisation of human activity or built environment & its relationship with the physical environment and Physical Geography - study of natural environment (landforms, climates, soils, water flora & fauna) and their production and interactions. Many of the earth’s most pressing challenges such as water, food and energy scarcity can be traced to declining productivity or quality of the natural resource base that support a habitable planet. The GRD programme therefore provides an integrated understanding of the theoretical, empirical and technological approaches for optimum resource development while addressing their inherent challenges and threats.

 

Aims & Objectives

At the end of the programme, students are expected to:
Develop a deep background in the geospatial science and earth system processes.
Demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical principles, techniques and methods deployed in analysing the relationship between the human and the natural and built environment.
Be able to gather geographic data by field observations, photographs, maps and satellites imagery.
Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of resource development theories and policies as well as their analytical dimensions.

 

Tutition Method

Lectures, group assignments, case studies/reviews, class presentations, project work, field visits and seminars.
