The curriculum begins with foundational knowledge in the first year, advances to economic, social, and political geographies plus planning policies in the second year, and culminates in specialized modules and a dissertation in the third year.Supported by a dedicated employability team, graduates emerge with strong career prospects through placements, skills workshops, and industry connections. The program features annual professional skills modules on project management and teamwork, preparing students for employment or further study, alongside the department's world-leading research impact, as recognized in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.
