Geography, BSc (Hons)

Geography is the integrated study of landscapes, peoples, places, and environments, making it essential for understanding our rapidly changing planet. It bridges social and natural sciences through interconnected strands of human and physical geography. The BSc Geography degree provides a broad foundation in both areas during the first year, allowing students to specialize in physical geography or maintain a balance in later years. Undergraduates draw directly from staff expertise in cutting-edge research, which shapes national and international policy and addresses key societal issues.The Geography BA focuses on human geography, while the BSc emphasizes physical geography, though both degrees permit a combined approach. Modules are outlined on our website, and assessments typically involve exams, coursework, or a mix, including fieldwork, reports, and group presentations.
