Key Facts
The research undertaken in this Environmental and Geographical Science program at University of Cape Town is often interdisciplinary and covers a wide range of areas such as climate change, urban development, biodiversity, governance, and sustainability.
Engaging with complex contemporary issues that are of relevance to society necessitates that the questions we ask draw upon philosophies and methods that integrate across the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. The focus on complexity is supported through collaborations and engagements with a range of knowledge bearers beyond the university, including community groups, and the public and private sectors.
To be a member of the EGS department is to be part of a community that strives to be relevant, rigorous, respectful, collaborative and caring - as we believe that these are the values that are needed to shift current trajectories to become sustainable and socially just.
Courses include:
- Urban Food Security
- Cultural Geography
- Environmental Change
