About this programme

Geography is a discipline that integrates natural and social sciences, focusing on current research questions. At the University of Oulu, geography is divided into regional development and regional policy, geoinformatics, and cultural, physical, and tourism geography in terms of research topics and course content. The research subjects in geography include various regional systems of nature and society. Geography holds an intermediary position between natural sciences and social and human sciences. Due to the broad scope of its research subjects, geographers rely on theoretical and methodological foundations from natural, cultural, and social sciences. In tourism studies, the emphasis is on nature, culture, and the northern regions, as well as regional planning and development. Of particular interest are the relationships between tourism and sustainable development, climate change, and locality.
