Course summary
Uncover the connections between people, place, and planet. This course explores the complex relationship between humans and the environment. It provides a broad geographical perspective on both natural and human systems, and a mixture of knowledge and approaches from both physical and social sciences. You’ll develop the skills to critically analyse how human activity shapes the world around us. Taught by internationally recognised academics, the course offers opportunities to actively engage with research and real-world learning. Field trips across the UK and Europe bring your studies to life, and options for study abroad, a work placement, or a sandwich year provide valuable global and professional experience. By the end of the course, you will have had the opportunity to develop highly sought-after skills and become confident in your geographical knowledge making you ready to take on the next step - whether that’s further study or starting your career. Accreditation Our Geography courses have a strong track record of accreditation by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), reflecting their academic quality and relevance to the discipline. This course is being updated with the same high standards in mind and is part of our ongoing engagement with the RGS, seeking reaccreditation before these courses begin in 2026.
