Studying the spatial behaviour of people, firms and organisations.
The Master's programme in Human Geography addresses the relationship between human activities and their spatial environment in a number of topical fields. It takes a critical, emancipatory approach to the field by engaging with the less privileged in society, but also trying to contribute to positive change and development in many different fields. The programme focuses on the newest theories and conceptual approaches, while never losing sight of the societal relevance of the topics being studied.
