Course Overview

Now is the time for environmental action. The devastating impact of climate change, highlighted by Greta Thunberg and Sir David Attenborough, reveals the damage societies can knowingly and unknowingly make to our precious natural ecosystems. Gain the skills, knowledge, and global insight to see how you can make a difference by studying our exclusive BSc (Hons) Environmental Geography with Studies in the USA degree.

The modern geographer needs a different skill set for emerging environment-based roles - so we've built a course to help you prepare. On this entire degree course, we've combined a geographer's holistic investigative approach with an environmental manager's applied skills. As a result, this hybrid curriculum not only helps you to build core geographical investigation skills, but you will also acquire the foresight to respond to and mitigate climatic and environmental changes.

At the heart of this course is the year you will spend with Toledo University in Ohio, USA - our exchange partner for over 30 years! You will spend the second year of your studies based an hour from Detroit in the friendly city of Toledo. Alongside gathering new friends and a lifetime of memories, you'll be inspired by the Geography and Planning department as you roam the physical and human landscapes of Ohio and surrounding areas.

You will:

• Become a next-generation geographer as you build a hybrid skill set grounded in geography, geology, and environmental management

• Acquire knowledge from internationally recognized experts working with industry on live environmental projects

• Experience international study by spending a year with our partner University of Toledo in the USA
