Overview

During the Geography with Philosophy with Politics (Hons) course offered by University of Malta you will learn concepts and theories ranging from populations, cartography, and biogeographic and oceanographic processes, to geology, degradation, human geography and Marine management, to name a few.

By experiencing both the theoretical aspect of the subject matter and the practical side through fieldwork, you may be given the opportunity to carry out a research-based dissertation in your final year of studies, as you will be knowledgeable enough to conduct a research topic of your own choice.

They also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
