Course summary

The interaction between humans and the environment has given rise to some of the most pressing issues today, from climate change and global warming all the way to political instability and inequality. Our Geography BSc(Hons) degree aims to help you understand the core principles of human and physical geography, with many routes for specialisation. You’ll have the opportunity to study a wide range of modules, including earth processes, dynamic living systems, social, environmental, and cultural challenges and principles and practices in geography. After completing the core modules in your first and second years, you’ll be able to specialise in your final year.
