Geography at Waikato is distinctive in its focus on human geography. We offer papers in social and cultural geography as well as Geographic Information Systems. A number of the papers have particular emphasis on Māori and feminist perspectives, and the social, economic and political processes that produce them.

We live in a complex world that is rapidly changing through development, tourism, globalisation, environmental degradation, population growth and consumption. A career in geography will enable you to understand these changes and work to develop sustainable solutions for the future. Open the doors to rewarding range of career opportunities in urban and regional planning, regional economic development, travel and tourism development, environmental consultancy, the property and housing industry, local government and much more.
