In first year human geography we introduce the range of our research specialisms and research methods, including fieldwork. Optional modules in the second and third year progressively lead to material that is specialist and at the cutting edge of research. The majority of modules in second and third year focus on human geography and social science topics, with others that cross the human/physical geography interface. In second year, students may take one module from the Geography BSc list (subject to timetable compatibility).
