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 2025).
This four-year course has the same basic structure as BSc Geography but you will spend your third year studying geography and other subjects at an English-medium university abroad.
In year one you will receive an overview of physical and human geography and will 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, urbanisation, and global politics to inequalities of health and contemporary social theory.
You will also develop skills in the use of specialised computer software, statistical analysis, and data collection in the field. Field trips and practical work are key components of the course. There are UK residential field trips in year one, and in year two there is typically an overseas field trip.
Your third year abroad will be arranged on an individual basis. We currently have exchange agreements with universities in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad.
The skills that you acquire throughout your studies will be applied in a self-directed dissertation project in your final year.
