This is an original and innovative course of study thanks to the unprecedented binomial "tourism-territory".The course of study is based on the concept of "tourism-territory. It offers the opportunity to acquire specific skills on tourism issues, associating with it deep knowledge of territorial and environmental dynamics. The theoretical-methodological and practical-applicative skills acquired through the geo-environmental and interdisciplinary approach open up numerous opportunities for professional outlets due to the flexibility and, at the same time, distinctiveness of the educational pathway. Location: the campus in Savona allows either permanence in university or city residences, or commuting from the metropolitan city of Genoa or the Ligurian West. The Savona Campus has innovative infrastructure related to the field of Sustainable Energy and Smart City. It offers quality services from an administrative/didactic and library perspective, for university residences, sports/recreational activities and canteen service exclusive to the campus. What will you study The teachings of the curriculum are divided into the following areas:.

Geographer Who is he?. As is well known, the geographer studies the human-environment relationship and better specifically the use of the earth's surface by identifying the interrelationships between physical, natural and anthropogenic phenomena and the effects on the social, political, economic organization of places. The geographer is a custodian of multidisciplinary knowledge that enables him or her to interpret various land-related issues and act on them. The different sectors in which he can intervene are both the natural and the anthropized environment in the search for solutions to specific critical issues (climatic, environmental, social and cultural), but also in the identification and enhancement of resources rooted in the territories (cultural heritage, environmental, landscape, industrial archaeology, etc.).. The spatial scale can be local, regional, national or global. Geographical analysis is conducted both in the field and with the help of statistical data. The geographer also very often uses Geographic Information Systems, which allow the information collected to be concentrated in thematic cartographies or graphs, for better communication of the reality analyzed and the related possible and/or necessary interventions. What does it do? Collection of information and data related to an area. Identification of information sources (bibliographic, cartographic, statistical, spatial). Sorting and classifying information related to a territory Data input into computer systems for data collection and processing Analysis and collection of information related to historical, economic and social processes pertaining to spatial organization Analysis and collection of elements characterizing the physical processes of the geosphere, including in relation to its exogenous dynamics Spatial analyses and complex statistics (systemic interactions, role of actors, cultural and ethnographic factors, exogenous factors) Scientific research, both theoretically oriented and applied, on issues related to territory, landscape, and tourism. Communication to different audiences of the results of the analyses carried out Management of working teams (including multidisciplinary ones) Where do you work? Local and national public bodies (municipalities, provinces, regions, state bodies).. Private entities (offices, studies) active in the field of land management. Public and private research organizations. Teaching Geography in public and private second-grade educational institutions Technical text editor Who is it? Professional figure who possesses the skills to work at publishing houses dealing with geographic publishing. He/she can then work as an editor of scientific and/or popular texts, scholastic, cartographic, atlases, tourist guides. He may find employment outlet in tourism and environmental magazines, etc. He may also coordinate or collaborate on television or documentary productions with a geographic-environmental-tourism theme. As part of a publishing house specializing in geographic publishing, she is involved in text editing and cartography composition at different scales through GIS in collaboration with other professionals. This is thanks to the skills acquired through targeted courses, workshops and internships provided in the curriculum.
