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

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