Human Geography
The Master's programme in Human Geography at the University of Amsterdam has a focus on urban and political geographies. The programme offers five specialisation tracks: Digital Economic Geography, Political Geography, Spatial Analysis, Spatial Sustainability Studies and Urban Geography.
Digital Economic Geography focuses on how digitalisation and new technologies in our globalised economy affect the lives of people in different parts of the world.
Political Geography explores how geography shapes politics. Understanding these forces offers a perspective on how geographical factors drive global political dynamics.
In Spatial Analysis you gain experience in gathering, analysing, and presenting spatial information. You'll become an expert in spatial analysis, exploring new ideas, challenging conventional thinking and examining the relationships between people and their environments.
Spatial Sustainability Studies takes a spatial-temporal perspective to understand the interlinkages between environmental and social challenges, identify the main drivers and develop interventions to address them.
Urban Geography equips you with tools to tackle global and local issues of inequality and quality of life in cities, shaping a better future for urban communities worldwide.
