Annotation

The study of Geography at JLU in Gießen explores topics at the interface between natural sciences and humanities, whereby the "space" or the "spatial perspective" forms the connecting element. Thus during their studies they concern themselves with elements from natural sciences (e.g. climate, vegetation and soil) and at the same time with social and economic aspects (population geography, economic geography and urban geography, etc). You will learn about maps as a central communication medium and geographic information systems (GIS) as a central analysis tool for geography. You will develop a process understanding of the spatial interactions of the individual areas in the form of human-environment relationships.
