Course Overview

Examine geography from the perspective of the Earth’s physical environments, landscapes, and environmental processes. And use your knowledge of these to better understand the environmental and societal challenges we’re all facing.

UK and international fieldwork opportunities will broaden your horizons and inspire your research. You’ll visit destinations across Europe – previous destinations have included Tenerife, Mallorca, and Cumbria. Plus, you’ll use the latest industry technology to gain experience in geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. You can also tailor your degree to your interests, with the opportunity to select subject-specific and complementary modules.

We run tailored careers and employability activities to help you plan for life after completing your BSc Geography degree. After three years, you’ll have developed subject-specific and transferable skills useful in both the public and private sectors. You might consider working in environmental management, remote sensing, or environmental education.
