About this course

Discover how the physical, natural and built environments connect with human society. Our Geography BSc(Hons) with integrated foundation year degree examines issues including the climate crisis and human impacts on the environment, global sustainability and the circular economy.

With an extra year of foundation level study, this course opens up opportunities in the sciences if you don't hold the required qualifications to go straight on to the BSc(Hons), want to change career or are returning to study.

On successful completion of the foundation year, you can progress to our accredited Geography BSc(Hons) degree.

There is a strong emphasis on applied learning. You'll conduct fieldwork throughout the course, both overseas and in the coastal, fluvial, downland and urban environments our location provides. And you'll learn with researchers who are tackling global problems including sustainable river management and air quality.
