Why Study Geography?
Geography is a discipline devoted to studying the human and physical processes and patterns that shape the earth. Studying Geography involves learning about the accelerated growth of cites, the clash between globalization processes and local cultures, coping with environmental hazards, global warming and climate change, mitigating the pressures on natural resources and the evolving landscape of Eretz Yisrael both past and present.
Studying Geography at the Hebrew University will equip you with a broad and integrative view of the human and physical process that fashion our environment.
