BSc (Hons) Global Development and Sustainability

Course Overview

This degree is designed to give you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to analyse contemporary global challenges from both a scientific and a social scientific perspective.

In core modules, you’ll learn principles in human and physical geography and you’ll apply these to examine sustainable development challenges and opportunities in a range of global contexts.
