■ What is Geography?

Geography is a discipline that studies human and natural phenomena in related with the world. Geography particularly looks at interaction within and between human- and nature-driven events and changes, and it deals with the “where” and “what pattern” with the concepts of space and location. In addition, it helps to figure out alternative plans of diverse spatial problems as they appear in reality. Therefore, geographers study nature, anthropogenic impacts, regions, and new technologies in spatial science.

■ Careers

Trained in cross-cultural perspectives, graduates can work as area specialists in various research institutes and international organizations, or play important roles in diplomatic relations and information production industries. They also have good opportunities to work in museums.
