GradCert - Geography as a subject

If you are looking to quickly acquire skills for a new career, a graduate certificate is a great option for you.

Geography matters because it is about basic human relationships - between people and the environment, and between people and other people. Ranked among the top geography programmes in the world, the Geography programme at Waikato is the only solely human geography programme in New Zealand.
