Final Year Project

At the end of studying quantitative techniques and other research methods, students should be able to: 1. conduct independent field research; 2. undertake sampling; 3. analyze the data; and 4. interpret the observed phenomena.

The Final year Project should cover but not limited to the following topics: soil, vegetation, map interpretation, remote sensing, GIS, regional, medical geography, disease ecology, climate change, hydrology, population studies, market studies among others. An individual study chosen by the student(s) with the approval of the Department should be carried out under the supervision of a senior member of staff. This will normally be started in the second semester of the third year. The final report of not more than 10,000 words in length should be submitted by the last week of second semester lectures in the fourth year.
