Biogeography is the study of living things in space and time (including geological time).

This degree involves an interdisciplinary study of environmental geoscience,geomorphology, ecology, biodiversity and environmental change.

This interdisciplinary approach is essential for the understanding, management and conservation of biodiversity and ecological communities.
