specialisatie Applied Geography

Specialising in Applied Geography, you will have the opportunity to take over the task of making plans for the future of a region and implementing them.

This way, you will be assisting authorities at the regional and national levels. At the moment, a lot of things are happening here in the Netherlands that require close attention: the aging of the population, urban migration and urbanisation, and recreation significantly affect our lives and our regions. In order to profit from these developments as a society, cooperation among the different sectors is required. Economy, traffic, agriculture, recreation, culture and nature: all these dimensions come into play when we try to devise ideas and initiatives to deal with issues our society faces. Together, we have to make plans for the future and carry them out. Graduates in Applied Geography can play a major role in these processes and activities. If you feel that this is a role you would like to take on, then the specialisation in Applied Geography is the perfect fit for you!
