Our BSc degree addresses important questions about whether the planet’s natural resources are able to sustain an increasing population, how physical earth systems respond to human activity and changing climate, how we manage resources, and how we live with environmental change. If you are interested in environmental issues and like the idea of addressing problems on global and local scales, then this is the programme for you. Many people who take the Geography BSc (Hons) programme choose the Physical Geography modules, which are more scientifically based, but the full range of Human Geography modules is also open to you and the flexibility of the degree allows you to shape your own programme of study. This means that you can either specialise in physical geography or study both physical and human geography as part of a BSc degree. You can also take up to two 15 credit modules per year from other subjects so you can maintain an interest in another discipline as part of your BSc Geography degree. We will guide you in your module choice to ensure that you choose modules which complement each other and follow a pathway which will help you to gain skills and knowledge relevant for your future career. In order to give a strong foundation to your degree, all students take core modules in Year One which help introduce you to the breadth of the subject, and to give you a grounding in the key concepts and skills which are integral to the rest of the course. These include Experiments in Physical Geography (which won an award for innovative teaching in 2013); Changes in Earth Surface Processes (includes five/six days fieldwork) and Living with Environmental Change. You then get a choice of optional modules from within physical or human geography, or from other disciplines including Geology, Oceanography, Ecology, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Modern Languages, Sociology, Psychology, and Planning, amongst many others.
