If you want to explore how our Earth system operates and its underlying mathematical principles our combined course is for you.
On this mainly physical geography course you will develop an appreciation of how processes at work on the Earth's surface can be described mathematically and represented in simulation models.
Look into the processes that shape our world's dramatic landscapes and the dynamics of the atmosphere and biosphere, and how you can have a say in how we manage our future environment.
Learn how to understand and explore the science behind the world.
Extending this degree
You can convert your 3-year degree into a 4-year degree by spending an additional year on an industrial placement or overseas, before returning to Leeds to complete your final year of study. Read "Study abroad and work placements".
Real world learning
Fieldwork is an integral part of all our geography degrees. All compulsory fieldwork in Years 1 and 2 is funded by the School.

Course programme

You will cover developments in the study of climate change, human impacts on the biosphere and the hydro-geomorphological processes that shape physical landscapes.

In Year 1 you will gain a broad overview of all these topics, and then as you progress through your second and final year you have the opportunity to specialise according to your strengths and interests.

Throughout your studies you will acquire key skills in environmental mathematics that will enhance your understanding of how different processes shape our environment.
