specialisaties

specialisatie Conflicts, Territories and Identities

The world has seen many violent conflicts within and between nation states. You will study (inter)national conflict, war and the physical and mental borders that come along with these.

This unique programme combines political geography with conflict management. You will study (inter)national conflicts, war and terrorism. We will focus on the backgrounds, contexts, sources and territorial aspects - imperialism, geopolitics, failing states, religions, (national) identities, discrimination, resources, borders - and the management and resolution - good governance, border management, humanitarian aid, development aid, diplomacy, peace operations. You will become familiar with the political and social construction of conflicts, territories and identities, as well as with the theory and practice of (inter)national conflict management. You will study these in theory but also in practice at the hot-spots of current conflicts.

As a graduate you qualify for jobs in journalism, research, civil, international relations, security sector, defence -, international organisations and non-governmental organisations as well as research.

The Master's in Conflicts, Territories and Identities is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography in collaboration with the Centre for International Conflict Analysis & Management (CICAM).

specialisatie Cultural Geography and Tourism

In this specialisation you will learn to understand and interpret advanced theories and practices of leisure and tourism and their influence on the social and physical environment.

Tourism has a major economic, social and environmental impact on places and regions. It is based on the cultural appreciation and value of the cities and landscapes tourists visit. This Master's specialisation allows you to understand the processes involved and how to use them in practice. Since tourism is mainly about experiencing places and events, you will learn to understand where these experiences come from, what effects they have and how they can be influenced.

The Master's is offered in cooperation with Wageningen University. You will follow 4 specialisation courses and 2 elective courses (both in Nijmegen and Wageningen), after which you can specialise further in your Master's thesis.

After graduation, you can be employed in a wide range of jobs, such as city planner, region marketeer, policy maker, cultural planner or consultant. Both in and outside the Netherlands.

The Master's in Cultural Geography and Tourism is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

specialisatie Economic Geography

Study the role of regions as locations for economic activities. Focus on the meaning of local and global culture and policy-making at various spatial levels.

The world shows manifest differences in economic performances and wealth, and in the way cities and regions form part of national and global economic systems. Economic geography studies these differences and their consequences for places and communities.The Master's in New Economic Geographies, Ecologies and Business Innovation is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

specialisatie Europe: Borders, Identity and Governance

Borders are sites for investigating the of European governance, sovereignty, territory and identit(ies). We focus on (b)ordering processes occurring within Europe's internal cross-border regions.

Rather than withering away under the impact of globalisation, borders have become privileged sites for investigating the transformation of European governance, sovereignty, territory and identit(ies). We focus on b/ordering processes occurring within Europe's internal cross-border regions, taking into account the context of shifts in state sovereignty, territoriality, and cultural identity in Europe's borderlands. Courses will also train attention on the external bordering dimension of the European Union, while also addressing the EU's search for a broader role in the world. Themes raised are e.g.: cross-border governance, transnational and multi-level governance, European citizenship and 'cosmopolitical' identit(ies), critical border geopolitics, and the 'ethical' dimension to European borders.

Students will be able to apply the scientific insights and practical skills to topics as Europeanisation, internationalisation, borders, identities, cross-border governance and international cooperation and politics.

The Master's in Europe: Borders Identity and Governance is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

specialisatie Globalisation, Migration and Development

Globalisation affects people all around the world in different ways and extents. This specialisation allows you to take an independent position in debates on globalisation, migration and development.

In Globalisation, Migration and Development you will study aspects of globalisation as related to socio-economic and spatial developments in different parts of the world, and the so-called Global South in particular. This implies a focus on: emerging social and spatial inequalities, resultant processes of social exclusion, but also emancipation; the nature and impact of migration; the role of resource demands for governance, etc. As these topics can be studied in different contexts we focus on urban and rural contexts, and the relation between these two domains. Beyond the thematic courses you will also follow courses giving insight in major theoretical debates in human geography, and courses which equip you with methodological and analytical skills. Thereby you will also be able to set up and conduct an own master thesis in which you research a topic that has your interest.

This specialisation helps to prepare you for a career as a policymaker, practitioner, researcher and/or lecturer, whether in The Netherlands, the EU, or elsewhere in the world.

The Master's in Globalisation, Migration and Development is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

specialisatie Urban and Cultural Geography

Cities are centres of society and are creative as well as conflictual places for divergent communities. We focus on how actors create, perform and experience the urban space and how they use it.

Cities are the vibrant and dynamic focal points of today's society. These diverse agglomerations of people, companies and organisations are both locations for innovation and for conflict. Cities are regarded as creative places as well as conflictual places for divergent communities. In this master specialisation you will study how different actors influence the physical form of cities but also the way in which they present and understand the character and identity of cities and how they make use of the typical urban environment in their daily activities. They create and make cities!

In this master specialisation, we focus especially on the different aspects of culture as a motor for urban development. We do so by engaging practically with cities at home and abroad through empirical research.

This qualifies you for jobs like city-manager, city marketeer, city planner, integration agent, city-network manager, etc.

The Master's in Urban and Cultural Geography is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

studievereniging

Mundus
Mundus is de studievereniging voor studenten Geografie, Planologie en Milieu in Nijmegen. Je kunt vanwege het economische voordeel van de boekenkorting lid worden van Mundus, maar onze vereniging heeft nog veel meer te bieden.
Onze enthousiaste actieve leden dragen bij aan de organisatie van diverse leuke activiteiten voor alle Mundusleden en andere geïnteresseerden. Je staat vrij om zelf dingen te organiseren of eraan mee te doen.

Regelmatig organiseren wij lezingen op onverwachte locaties in Nederland, excursies naar leuke steden of gewoon een dagje 'even helemaal weg'. Ook is er natuurlijk de jaarlijkse buitenlandse Mundusreis, die altijd een goede mix is van vakinhoudelijkheid, vakantiegevoel en veel lol.

Maar Mundus doet nog meer. Tijdens onze contactdag kom je, als voorbereiding op het toekomstige werkveld, in contact met sociaal geografen, planologen en millieukundigen uit de beroepspraktijk. Daarnaast is er de nu al legendarische Borrelende Kennis Quiz, waarbij studenten en docenten van de sectie het opnemen tegen andere teams van GPM. Naast studiegerelateerde activiteiten brengt Mundus natuurlijk ook ontspanning door feesten, borrels of een barbecue, waardoor je je medestudenten op een andere manier leert kennen. Elk jaar organiseert Mundus het Nationaal Geografisch en Planologisch Symposium, in samenwerking met andere studieverenigingen uit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen en Wageningen. Wil je meer weten over Mundus? Wil je lid worden of zelf iets organiseren? Dan ben je van harte welkom in de pauze, elke middag tussen 12.30 uur en 13.30 uur, op onze kamer in de Thomas van Aquinostraat 5.0.04.
