Studies

The Department of Geography aims to accomplish the strengthening of the topic of Geography as crucial scientific field in the academia and in the Hellenic society, as well as the elevation of the Harokopio University Department of Geography as standard of geography education and research in response to the needs of the modern society.

The graduate student of the Department of Geography is able to develop professional activities in Greece and abroad, in the public, private and social sectors. The changes in the administrative divisions of the country (Kallikrates Reform) and the market internationalization give new opportunities to graduates with the scientific profile of a geographer. Indeed, the scope for potential professional and scientific activity and input of graduated geographers in the specific sector of economy and community are: central and general public administration sector, local and regional authorities, enterprises with national – regional network, chambers of commerce, association of enterprises, business consultancy, technical bureau, secondary school, scientific research and NGO’s.

The Department of Geography operates a Postgraduate Study Programme (PSP) in “Applied Geography and Spatial Planning”.
