This programme combines physical and human geography initially, with opportunities for specialisation later and a third year spent abroad at a partner university. Those choosing the BA have usually studied social science/ humanities subjects at A level or equivalent, but may transfer to the BSc if their interests develop in this direction or (at the start of the first year) to BA Geography with Social Data Science if they have the right grades including A level Maths.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The Geography BA and BSc share core elements at the start, providing you with a strong geographical foundation on which to build. In year one you take five compulsory modules - two on Thinking Geographically and two on Geography in the Field, plus Understanding Our Planet. You can then take three optional modules from the four we offer, or you can take two of those and one module from outside the Department.
To remain on the International Programme you must average a mark of 60% or more at the end of your first year.
In year two, one or two compulsory modules are supplemented by six or seven optional modules selected from a substantial pool, including field classes. We put a lot of emphasis on research design this year. You may begin to focus on topics such as development geography, environmental geography, urban geography, GIS and climate change. Students may take one module outside the Department.
You will spend your third year abroad at an approved university. Your dissertation is the main focus of year four, working with an academic supervisor to develop an original piece of research on a topic of your choice. In addition you take further optional modules, including one from outside Geography if you like.
Fieldwork throughout the programme can take place both in the UK and abroad, and it is also possible to base your dissertation on an overseas project, wihch may be conducted while you are on your year abroad.
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Geography (International Programme).
