Modules

Your first year covers the foundation of both human and physical geography. You are encouraged to choose optional modules that are appropriate to your geography degree, or at an appropriate level from across the university. Many students opt to study languages, the arts, social and natural sciences or engineering, in addition to geography modules. Year two includes fewer core modules. Instead, you will choose from a range of optional modules appropriate to your geography degree. You will have the opportunity to pursue 20 credits of appropriate modules from outside of geography, subject to approval. In year three, the dissertation is the only core module. Alongside this, you can choose from a range of advanced geography modules appropriate to your degree.
