Physical Geography

Dealing with diverse topics ranging from the top of the earth’s atmosphere to the ocean floor, our BSc (Hons) Physical Geography degree is a specialised course that focuses solely on the physical sciences and how they apply to our surroundings.

Through teaching delivered by our internationally recognised academics, you will not only be learning about research but actively taking part as a researcher. Throughout this course you will learn how to map, monitor and understand the physical world by undertaking regular day and residential field trips within the UK and Europe. You will also have the option to complete a semester-based or year-long work placement, allowing you to put all of your recently acquired skills into practise.
