The Master's degree in geography trains professional Geographers and Cartographers. There are three different specialisations:- methods and techniques of geographical representation: cartography, statistical demography.- geographical theory and methodology: this includes the exploitation of geography in different spatial and historical contexts.- geography in its relation with politics, economy and the society. A professional geographer requires a multi-disciplinary profile and cross competences, as well as strong interpersonal skills for interacting in heterogeneous working groups. Geographical knowledge requires competence in geomatic, cartography and remote sensing, as well as in history, statistics, demography, sociology and political sciences. This Master's programme underlies these subjects, fostering cooperation and an open-minded spirit, resolving complex geographical problems using appropriate theoretical knowledge, empirical data and scientific method. Students also learn a specific lexicon in order to discuss and communicate geographical issues with a critical approach. 


This course is held in Italian.
