B.A. Geography (Hons)

Our BA and BSc programmes share a core first year, providing a thorough grounding in human and physical geography.

In your second and final years, you can choose from six academic pathways. These offer a tailored and specialised programme of study towards specific career or research goals. These consist of sustainability and development; cities and globalisation; people, culture and place; hazards; Earth surface dynamics; and environmental change. There is also an opportunity to choose a module offered from outside the department.

You spend one semester of your final year gaining real-world experience and boosting your employability by working on a project with an outside organisation from the private, public or non-profit sectors. Another feature of the final year is the dissertation – a piece of individual work on a topic of your choice, carried out under the guidance of a supervisor.
