The Geographical Studies curriculum explores the natural and anthropic aspects of space in their inescapable interplay, encompassing facts and representations, materiality and ideas, anchors and movements, and thus both the world and the discourses with which we seek to make sense of it. Through qualitative, quantitative, and creative methodologies, the curriculum offers a learning environment and the scientific development of doctoral students from diverse backgrounds (social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences) who are particularly interested in the dimension of space in its many facets.
