Course summary
This integrated geography programme combines physical and human geography initially and then offers increasing opportunities for specialisation, including a BA Geography with Social Data Science pathway. Those choosing the BA will usually have studied social science or humanities subjects at A level or equivalent, but may transfer to the BSc if their interests develop in this direction.
Degree benefits
-
At UCL Geography our teaching and research engages with the most pressing environmental and social problems of the day. Learning how to understand and respond to these challenges is more than an intellectual or practical exercise - it involves acting as global citizens too.
-
Our core modules will train you how to think and write like a geographer, to design and conduct research, and provide other practical and project management skills. This training helps our students find work in the UK and around the world. We hope it's fun, too!
-
We offer a wide range of modules and BA Geography students can take any of these, including physical geography courses, if they meet the prerequisites. Our low staff-to-student ratio (Guardian University Guide 2021) encourages individual choice and personal supervision.
Your learning
Your timetable will include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes and fieldwork. As you progress, the focus shifts to independent and critical learning, with student-led discussions and presentations becoming more important.
Assessment
First-year assessment combines independent coursework completed throughout the year with end-of-year written examinations. In years two and three, assessment varies - some modules combine written examinations with independent projects, while others are assessed entirely by independent projects or by written examination. Your dissertation carries significant weight in your final year.
Careers
Having developed skills associated with both the sciences and the humanities, UCL geographers are particularly adept at taking different perspectives on an issue or problem. These skills make our graduates attractive to employers.
UCL geographers have a particularly good track record of securing employment after graduation (Guardian University Guide 2020).This may be partly because of the significant project management skills they develop by undertaking their supported dissertation research. Our geographers embark on many careers: from teaching and research to commerce, planning and administration. Their expertise is valuable for environmental and physical planning, surveying, government, industry and the financial sector.
