BSc Geography: Undergraduate study programme
Geography is a bridging science which links the human sciences with the natural sciences. Geography is also a spatial science, studying the location and distribution of cities and human activities, such as agriculture and tourism, as well as the processes, patterns, problems and potential answers associated with these activities. In addition, geography is a planning and management science aimed at improving the quality of life of all people.
Geographers study the relationship and interaction between people and the environment. They specialize according to their interest and aptitude. This determines the nature of the problems on which they work and for which they seek solutions.
There are three main s in geography, namely teaching, research and the application of geographical knowledge and skills in practice. career fieldGeographers can focus on environmental management; urban issues such as squatting; regional and rural development; or environmental issues, including pollution and the destruction of ecosystems through activities such as mining, agriculture and tourism. Geographers in the private sector are generally employed by real estate, planning, architectural and engineering firms, and by banks, tourism organisations, environmental conservation bodies and industry. Government departments involved with agriculture, forestry and fisheries, water and sanitation, rural development and land reform, environmental affairs, tourism and education and Statistics South Africa, also employ geography graduates. Many geographers are self-employed. They are mainly involved in areas such as marketing, planning, development, tourism, cartography, remote sensing, environmental analysis and environmental auditing.
The following persons will be considered for admission: a candidate who is in possession of a certificate that is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required Grade 12 certificate with university endorsement; a candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted the status of a graduate of such an institution; and a candidate who is a graduate of another faculty at the University of Pretoria.
Grade 11 results are used for the provisional admission of prospective students. A minimum APS (Admission Point Score) of 32 based on Grade 12 results is required for the BSc (Geoinformatics) 3-year degree. Afrikaans or English, Mathematics and Physical Science are Grade 12 level prerequisites. Life Orientation is excluded in the calculation of the APS.
Candidates who do not comply with the minimum admission requirements for BSc (Geography), may be considered for admission to the BSc Extended programme for the Physical Sciences. The BSc Extended programme takes place over a period of four years instead of the normal three years.

BSc Environmental Sciences: Undergraduate study programme
The learner will acquire an adequate background to understand the environment as a dynamic interactive entity comprising physical, social and built environments. The environmental scientist studies processes, relationships and interdepen-dence in the natural environment and human impact on it.
Most careers in this field focus on managing and monitoring the environment, as well as environmental planning. Legislation in South Africa concerning national environmental management provides that all bodies concerned with activities that have an impact on the environment shall develop an environmental policy. It also means that environmental impact studies have to precede all new developments.
Environmental specialists act as consultants in the fields of environmental analysis and management, environmental law, environmental standards, environmental management systems and environmental auditing. In particular, they are needed by professionals in private-sector institutions involved with environmental issues, such as transport and civil engineers, town and regional planners and landscape architects. government departments, for example the Departments of Environmental Affairs, Water and Sanitation, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Rural Development and Land Reform and parastatal organisations such as the SABS and the CSIR, also offer career opportunities in the various specialised fields related to environmental science. Graduates can furthermore pursue an academic career.
The following persons will be considered for admission: a candidate who is in possession of a certificate that is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required Grade 12 certificate with university endorsement; a candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted thestatus of a graduate of such an institution; and a candidate who is a graduate of another faculty at the University of Pretoria. A minimum Admission Point Score (APS) of 32 based on Grade 12 results is required for the BSc (Environmental Sciences) 3-year degree although provisional admission is based on Grade 11 results. Life Orientation is excluded in the APS score. Afrikaans or English, Mathematics and Physical Science are Grade 12 level prerequisites. For more programme specific information go to http://www.up.ac.za/en/yearbooks/2017/programmes/view/02133362
Candidates who do not comply with the minimum admission requirements for BSc Environmental Sciences may be considered for admission to the BSc or the BSc Extended Programme for Physical Sciences (APS = 26). All first-year students are required to complete the Student Academic Readiness Survey (STARS)© during the Orientation Week, which is used in combination with high school results (APS) to identify students who may need academic or psycho-social support.

BSc Geoinformatics: Undergraduate study programme
Geoinformatics or Geoinformation Science integrates elements of various disciplines dealing with geographical data such as geography, cartography, computer science, geodesy, mathematics, remote sensing, statistical remote sensing. Geoinformatics can measure and supply information on how your behaviour impacts your immediate environment as well as how the environment influences your well-being.
At undergraduate level there are two study options: BSc (Geoinformatics) focuses on the general GISc profession with geographical thinking and spatial analysis at the core, while BSc IT (Geographical Information Systems) focuses on computer science in GIS applications. (More information can be obtained at www.up.ac.za/ebit). Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills to create and apply geographic information system methods and techniques to assist researchers and decision-makers in a variety of fields. Fundamental elements of developing and use of these GIS systems are scientifically approached. Graduates are trained to identify the needs and apply problem solving processes. If you are studying a degree in another faculty you can also enrol for a number of GIS subjects.
Admission towards BScHons (Geoinformatics) requires a BSc (Geoinformatics) or an applicable BSc degree with relevant experience in computer programming, data management, geodesy, remote sensing and spatial analysis. After successful completion of the BSc (Geoinformatics) degree, graduates can apply for professional registration as a GISc Technologist with PLATO (South African Geomatics Council). With appropriate work experience (Work Integrated Learning) and PLATO complied exams the candidate can apply for registration as a Candidate GISc Practitioner to become a registered Professional GISc Practitioner.
Graduates with a BSc (Geoinformatics) readily find work at organisations such as Geographic Information System (GIS) vendors (ESRI or Integraph), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), GIS consultants (AfriGIS, GeoTerralmage, GISCOE), civil engineering consultants (Aurecon, SSI), the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), South Africa's National Mapping and National Geospatial Information (NGI) or any municipality in the country. Many government departments (eg Environmental Affairs, Science and Technology, Statistics South Africa, Rural Development and Land Reform and Water and Sanitation) also employ GISc professionals.
The following persons will be considered for admission: a candidate who is in possession of a certificate that is deemed by the University to be equivalent to therequired Grade 12 certificate with university endorsement; a candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted the status of a graduate of such an institution; and a candidate who is a graduate of another faculty at the University of Pretoria.
Grade 11 results are used for the provisional admission of prospective students. A minimum APS (Admission Point Score) of 32 based on Grade 12 results is requiredfor the BSc (Geoinformatics) 3-year degree. Afrikaans or English, Mathematics and Physical Science are Grade 12 level prerequisites. Life Orientation is excluded in the calculation of the APS.

BSc Meteorology: Undergraduate study programme
Weather and climate is fundamental in people's lives since daily activities, such as agriculture, sport, travel and tourism, depend on it. In the long term it may even determine whether humankind survives or not. There is increasing concern that people's activities may irreversibly change weather and climate. Similar concerns exist on air pollution. Meteorologists and atmospheric scientists are interested in understanding how the physics and dynamics of the atmosphere work. Meteorology is the study of atmospheric phenomena. This not only includes the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere, but also is extended to include many of the direct effects of the atmosphere upon the earth’s surface, the oceans, and life in general. The goals of meteorology are the complete understanding, accurate prediction and artificial control of atmospheric phenomena.
Undergraduate modules include physics and calculus, atmospheric structures and processes, climate and weather of Southern Africa, physical meteorology, remote sensing, geographic data analysis, dynamic meteorology, vector analysis and a weather forecasting module. The practical component is presented by a professional meteorologist using specialised software. Additional electives can be chosen from mathematics and applied mathematics, physics, statistics, chemistry, computer science, geography and geology.
A BScHons (Meteorology) degree is required for registration as professional meteorologist (as prescribed by the World Meteorology Organisation). A MSc (Meteorology) and a PhD (Meteorology) are essential for an academic career.
Careers. Professional meteorologists work as weather forecasters, researchers, climatologists and lecturers. Meteorologists are employed by institutions involved in the study, interpretation and prediction of weather and phenomena relating to the climate. The South African Weather Service (SAWS), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), some universities, agricultural institutions, municipalities and industries employ meteorologists who mainly practise as specialists.
The following persons will be considered for admission: a candidate who is in possession of a certificate that is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required Grade 12 certificate with university endorsement; a candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted the status of a graduate of such an institution; and a candidate who is a graduate of another faculty at the University of Pretoria.
Grade 11 results are used for the provisional admission of prospective students. A minimum APS (Admission Point Score) of 32 based on Grade 12 results is required for the BSc (Geoinformatics) 3-year degree. Afrikaans or English, Mathematics and Physical Science are Grade 12 level prerequisites. Life Orientation is excluded in the calculation of the APS.
Candidates who do not comply with the minimum admission requirements for BSc Meteorology may be considered for admission to the BSc or the BSc Extended Programme for Physical Sciences. All first year students are required to complete the Student Academic Readiness Survey (STARS) during Orientation Week, which is used in combination with high school results (APA) to identify students who may need academic or psycho-social support.
