Lecture at secondary schools about geography studies

The Bachelor's degree in Geography, Town and Country Planning and Environmental Management has been taught at the UdG since the 2009-2010 academic year.

It is a unique bachelor's degree in Spain, in the sense that it specialises in the ordering of the territory and environmental management and is has an applied focus, which means that from the second year students do work placements, and they also do a final degree project. The external placements in companies or institutions are also obligatory.
