Course Overview

This degree is perfect for you if you want to do a mix of human and physical geography in Year 1, specializing in physical geography as you progress through the program. In Years 2 and 3 we offer a range of modules that cover such topics as river dynamics, deserts, and climate change. The degree includes UK residential fieldwork in Years 1 and 2, going to Devon, Dartmoor, and the Lake District and in Year 2 we take you to Almeria (Spain) to explore Europe's only desert. There are options for further fieldwork around the world in Year 3. Throughout your degree, you will gain skills in remote sensing, geographical information science, and various statistical and data presentation methods.

If at the end of Year 1 you want to do more human geography (and your grades are sufficient), you can transfer in Year 2 to the BA degree, which is more focused on the social science aspects of the subject.
