Human Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University - UCAS

Course summary

Drawing upon our internationally recognised research expertise in social, cultural, political and economic geography, our human geography course has been designed to enhance your understanding of the causes and potential solutions to some of the biggest challenges the world faces today. We’ll introduce you to theories and approaches to understand the relationship between society and space and help you make sense of geographical processes. From past events to future developments and from local changes to global trends, you’ll build up a wide-ranging understanding of how our society interacts with our environment. Study human geography at Manchester Met and you’ll get to grips with qualitative research techniques, not only learning the theories but also putting them into action – both within the city of Manchester and beyond. You will also follow specialist pathways in environmental sustainability and Geographical Information Systems through to your final year. There is the opportunity to take a four-year route to broaden your horizons by spending a year working in industry on placement or studying overseas in your third year. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
