Please note: Not all units are available in each semester. Normally, level one units are available each year, but upper level units are offered on a two year rotation. Students need to plan their progression in consultation with the Geography Program Coordinator to ensure that they are able to complete their studies in a timely way.

Students are encouraged to select units that appropriately support their chosen career pathway. They may also wish to take advantage of an agreement for cross-institutional enrolment in Geography that exists between Edith Cowan University, Curtin University of Technology and the University of Western Australia. With the prior agreement of the Geography Program Coordinator, students are able to substitute Geography units from these other institutions into the ECU Major.

GEO3129 provides opportunities for an extended research project that could include a work placement, subject to approval from the Course Coordinator.
