Geography

Why choose this course?

What physical and human factors are impacting on our environment? How are they being addressed at local, national and international levels? How can we influence change?

Our BSc (Hons) Geography programme explores these questions, using small group teaching and one-to-one tutorials to ensure students get individual support from our team of enthusiastic, experienced and research-active academic staff. Our students take part in a range of fieldwork activities, including day trips and UK-based residentials. Other highlights include:

• Small class sizes, enabling us to provide high levels of support.
• Employability support incorporated into the curriculum.
• Accredited by Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
• Optional overseas fieldtrips.
