Geography and Business Management

• The distinctiveness, appeal and strength of University of Leeds joint honours programmes lie in the unusual combination of depth, breadth and flexibility which they offer, as well as in the exceptional range of degree combinations available.
• You can study two disciplines, in depth and to degree level, while acquiring a broader range of skills than is possible with a single honours degree.
• You can make the links you choose from the wide choice of optional modules available within each discipline, making connections and devising a pathway according to your own preferences, rather than being faced with a prescribed combination of modules.
• The flexibility of the programme structure allows you to change direction more easily, and more radically, than single honours students.

Broadening your academic horizons

At Leeds we want you to benefit from the depth and breadth of the University's expertise, to prepare you for success in an ever-changing and challenging world. This course gives you the opportunity to broaden your learning by studying discovery modules. Find out more on the Broadening webpages.

Learning and teaching

You’ll learn through a mixture of lectures, tutorials (groups of about eight), seminars (groups of approximately 30), computer classes, lab practical classes, group-work, online exercises and fieldwork, depending on the modules you study.

Opportunities for extra help, including “drop-in” workshops, one-to-one assistance, and an extensive programme of generic skills training.

Studying at university will involve you in taking increasing responsibility for your own learning as you progress through your degree. Developing the skills to think and work independently will be crucial to your success both at university and in your future career. Independent study involves a lot of reading around the subject, and although this may seem daunting at first, we will guide and support you.

Assessment

Assessment methods vary from module to module, helping you to develop and practice a range of skills. Types of assessment include: examinations, individual or group reports and presentations, practical exercises, essays, posters, projects (such as the dissertation) and reflective logs.
