Geography Course

The Department of Geography offers a course on “Industrial Change and Regional Development”. The course has 30 credits and offered at level 3. This is assessed entirely by essays and the students are expected to write three essays of which two essays are to be written in 2000 words each. This will form 50% of assessment of the course. The third essay has to be 3000 words and this is remaining part (50%) of assessment. The lecture and seminar methods are used in teaching this course. The essay topics are given to the students in the beginning of the term. The topics covered under this are:
  1. Capitalism, globalization and inequality
  2. Comparative modernizations: the case of Europe
  3. The rise and rise of East Asia and China
  4. The dynamics of inequality and development
  5. Mobility, urbanization and development
