Population Health And Human Geography UAC Code 757648
The double major in Population Health and Human Geography
consists of a minimum of 144 credit points, which comprises
all of the subjects in each of the individual majors. If students
wish to undertake honours in Human Geography at the end of
the double major degree, additional subjects are required.
Students should consult the entry in the Faculty of Science
and consult an academic adviser in Geosciences.
The double major in Population Health and Human Geography

for students who may wish to work in rural or community development
or local level social/health policy and planning, for example
within local governments.
