Geography BA Honours

Course overview

Our BA Geography degree explores key societal, economic and environmental challenges. It encourages you to engage with, explore and understand the world.

Our teaching is informed by the research of our world-leading academics and spans the breadth of the discipline.

You can tailor your degree to your interests and won't need to decide between human and physical geography to apply.

This enables you to become a specialist in your chosen field or to continue to study a broad range of geographical subjects (both human and physical).

You can select from a large number of Geography modules. These range from Glacial Environments, and Global Environmental Change, to Geopolitics, and Local and Regional Development.
