Course summary

This degree will provide you with a deeper appreciation of the significant role played by human societies, cultures and behaviours, and the physical environments, landscapes and environmental processes of the earth. UK and international fieldwork projects will focus your interests, while also broadening your horizons. Specialising in human geography, you will develop an understanding of the environmental and socio-economic issues facing the world, through theoretical and practical investigation, as well as knowledge of the patterns, processes and changes in the earth’s physical environments. The social, economic, political and cultural processes impacting on the human world will also be examined and you will gain expertise in geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing using the latest industry-standard technology.
