What will I learn?
The Southern Africa Studies Course gives you a clear, practical overview of climate, hydrology, relief, soils, vegetation, and land cover, then links these factors to population distribution and urban growth. You will work with real spatial and demographic datasets, create simple yet effective maps, assess risks such as water stress and land degradation, and translate your findings into concise planning insights and evidence-based recommendations.
