About this course

Geography can help us understand our physical environment and future sustainability challenges.

On your three-year BSc Physical Geography degree you will understand the processes that created the physical world and practically explore specialist areas including ecology and geology. You will learn how to analyse a landscape and geographical data, and use satellite images to understand our dynamic and changeable world.

As part of this course you can:

  • Study remote sensing for Earth observation

  • Undertake fieldwork trips to places potentially in Europe and Cambodia

  • Use specialist facilities including a purpose-built teaching lab and research-grade field equipment

  • Learn about the dramatic shifts in Earth’s environmental systems

  • Examine how individuals and societies respond to major changes in the environment.

    Your future employability is a key priority throughout your studies. Southampton graduates work in a range of careers including public policy, teaching, environmental consultancy, financial services, retail, marketing, town-planning, GIS-related and government advisory roles and 100% of our Geography graduates were in employment or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes 2020/2021).
