Course Overview

Explore Earth’s history, from its origins to current physical and environmental issues, and respond to them. Our BSc Geography & Geology course places practical field and laboratory work at its core. You’ll learn the fundamental techniques of physical geography and geology, becoming familiar with geographical information systems (GIS), digital cartography, and graphical software packages.

Your learning is underpinned by the study of the geological features of rivers, oceans, and volcanoes, as they are now and as they were in the past.

You can also tailor your degree to your interests, with the opportunity to select subject-specific and complementary modules.
