Join a University ranked first in the UK for 'Geography and environmental studies' research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top ten for 'Geography and Environmental Science', Complete University Guide 2024).

In year one you will receive an overview of physical and human geography and develop a range of geographical and scientific skills. The remaining years are organised around specialist units from physical and/or human geography.

Physical geography units cover a wide-ranging exploration of Earth's dynamic processes, emphasising a multidisciplinary approach to studying the natural environment. You will delve into topics such as climate change, glaciology, and hydrology, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected and societally-relevant systems shaping our planet.

Human geography units provide in-depth study of cultural, economic and social geography, emphasising the importance of theory and methods for analysing contemporary geographical problems and policies. Topics range from economic development and global politics to inequalities of health and contemporary social theory.

You will also develop skills in the use of specialised computer software, statistics and data collection in the field. Field trips and practical work are key components of the course. There are UK residential trips in year one and in year two there is typically an overseas field trip.

The skills that you acquire throughout your studies will be applied in a self-directed dissertation project in year three.

Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.

Accreditations

Our Geography BSc is approved by major professional bodies in the UK (RGS) so as a graduate you can gain exemptions from a number of their examinations or credits for prior learning.
