Perhaps having made it to this page is already an answer in itself, but let us finish convincing you.
If you would like to know, understand, and interpret territory: landscapes, their dynamics, and their conflicts. If you want to work in the field of territorial, urban, and environmental planning. If you believe that to understand the world around us we need an open mind and a multidimensional approach. If you think that the "where" is just as important as the "when" and is necessary to understand the "why". If you consider that the local cannot be understood without the global. If you are aware of the environmental and social cohesion challenges that must be faced to contribute to well-being.
Then, the Degree in Geography and the Environment at the Universitat de València is for you. Here are the main reasons to choose us:
Faced with the climate crisis, urban expansion, and inequalities, Geography provides practical solutions. It is not about memorizing maps, but about understanding the relationship between people and the physical environment to build a more sustainable future.
You will learn by connecting directly with the territory through numerous field trips and the use of cutting-edge technologies in our facilities (GIS, Remote Sensing, and Geomorphology Laboratories, and the Map Library). In addition, you will apply what you have learned through internships in companies and institutions.
With an employment rate exceeding 85%, you will prepare yourself for a global and changing labor market. You will be able to work in climate change management, urban planning, environmental consulting, geomarketing, geodata technologies (GIS), or teaching, among many other job opportunities.
Our department merges natural and social sciences to respond to the most urgent current demands, from mitigating natural risks to respectful rural and urban development.
The environment and society need you. In a scenario full of challenges, you can lead the change and contribute to a better world. Geography is waiting for you!
