General characteristics of the field of study and the assumed concept of education:
Geography students learn to understand and interpret the principles of the geographical environment and human socio-economic and cultural activities in space and time. They discover interdependencies between elements of the natural environment and human activities, analyse phenomena and processes occurring from the local to the global scale. They learn to use databases on the environment and become familiar with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). They acquire the ability to comprehensively assess the environment environment. The study programme includes directional geography subjects, elective humanities subjects and a block of pedagogical subjects (elective) entitling to work as a teacher. An integral part of the studies are field exercises held during the summer months.
Graduation requirements:
The condition for admission to the diploma examination is to achieve the learning outcomes provided for in the study program, to obtain a certificate of an appropriate level of language proficiency in a foreign language and to obtain positive grades for the diploma dissertation. The condition for graduation is to pass the diploma examination with at least a satisfactory result. A graduate receives a higher education diploma confirming obtaining the qualifications of the appropriate degree. Detailed rules of the diploma process and the requirements for the diploma thesis are set out in the Rules and Regulations of Studies at the University of Silesia and the diploma regulations.
Information on the relationship between the studies and the university's strategy as well as the socio-economic needs that determine the conduct of studies and the compliance of learning outcomes with these needs:
The faculty of geography participates in the education of students of Interdisciplinary Interdisciplinary Study Programmes and Interdisciplinary Individual Mathematical and Natural Science Studies. The didactic offer of the faculty is being made more attractive and upgraded in accordance with the current labour market demand. The Department of Geography formally cooperates with numerous business and economic entities and regional administration institutions. and economic environment as well as regional administration institutions. Apprenticeships offered at the geography faculty are another form of cooperation with business and economy, which in the didactic sphere will raise the level of preparation of graduates to enter the dynamically evolving labour market, shaping in them an entrepreneurial attitude. The direction of geography offers the possibility to go on foreign scholarships within the ERASMUS programmes and to participate in the national student exchange programme MOST.
Specialization: Geography (without a specialization)
General description of the specialization:
Geography students learn to understand and interpret the principles of the geographical environment and human socio-economic and cultural activities in space and time. They discover the interdependencies between elements of the natural environment and human activities, analyse phenomena and processes occurring from the local to the global scale. They learn to use databases on the environment and become familiar with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). They acquire the skills to comprehensively assess the human living environment.
Internships (hours and conditions):
Internships are an integral part of the study program, carried out by students in individual fields, levels, profiles and forms of study. Internships are to help in confronting the knowledge acquired during studies with the requirements of the labour market, acquiring skills useful in the profession, learning about practical issues related to working in positions for which the student is prepared during the course of studies. The internship is to familiarize the student with professional language relevant to a specific industry and work culture. The rules for the organization of internships are set out in the Rector's ordinance. Detailed rules of apprenticeship taking into account the specifics of particular fields of study are set out in the field's of study apprenticeship regulations, in particular: learning outcomes assumed to be achieved by the student during the apprenticeship, framework apprenticeship program including a description of issues, dimension of apprenticeship (number of weeks of practice); form of internship (continuous, mid-year), criteria for choosing the place of internship, obligations of the student staying in the internship, obligations of the academic tutor, conditions for completing the internship by the student and conditions for exemption from the internship obligation in whole or in part. The number of ECTS and the number of hours are specified in the course structure.
Percentage of the ECTS credits for each of the scientific or artistic disciplines to which the learning outcomes are related to the total number of ECTS credits:
