If you could not decide whether natural science or social science is matches your future career, then we have the perfect option for you. If you are uncertain whether you want to have a more complex understanding of local processes or you are more interested in global changes, do not hesitate. Our Geographer training covers both areas and provides specialized knowledge to help you learn as thoroughly as possible about the complex relationship of the human society and the environment. The Institute of Geography and Environmental Sciences of the University of Eszterházy in Eger provides you with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills in addition to historical sights.
The aim is to train such geographers, who can understand the features of geographical processes, and can characterize natural, environmental and social phenomena. We provide practical knowledge to our students by working with geographic information systems, statistical tools, qualitative assessment and survey methods. During their studies our geographer students have the chance to work as experts in their field, both independently and as members of multi-professional teams. Once they finished their studies, our students are prepared to meet the expectations of the XXI. century by sharing and presenting their knowledge and skills.
