This BA (Honours) in Social Sciences (Geography) is one of several specialist routes available in our BA (Honours) Social Sciences (R23) degree. Half of your studies will be in interdisciplinary social science and sociology, giving you a firm grounding in the knowledge and ideas that are central to the social sciences. For the other half, you’ll learn how key geographical concepts can be applied to some of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century, including globalisation, development, climate change, migration and urbanisation.

Geography is a discipline that integrates the environmental and social sciences. Geography studies location, places, regions, human-environment interactions, and movement. Its tools include cartography and geographic information systems (GIS). On the job, Geography graduates address social, physical, and environmental problems from the global to the local scale.

Geography BSc trains geographers who have advanced theoretical and applied geographic knowledge; they are able to analyze the spatial and temporal correlations of the natural, socio-economic and urban environment, to synthesize results, and to gain knowledge in their academic field independently.

Geographers and environmental scientists study processes, relationships and the interdependence between the natural environment and humans. Anyone who has a passion for the environment and has a background in the sciences will be interested in the BSc (Geography and Environmental Science) program.

The program in BSc in Geography provides a general bachelor level education in geography. It includes introductory modules to Nature and social sciences, to Geology and to Geography. The core of the program is based on the fundamental issues of including topics in Physical, Human and Regional geography.

Our Environmental Geography course is unique in bridging environmental and social sciences, training you for exciting and diverse career options.

Learn essential geospatial skills to help explain our world by analyzing patterns to solve problems. Geography B.A. integrates concepts from physical and social sciences as well as humanities to address current issues of local, national, and international importance. Work closely with instructors on geographic projects in two new GISC labs.

The Geography program is one of two programs housed in the Department of Earth Science and Geography. Geography studies the spatial distribution of features across Earth’s landscape, such as the location of landforms, water bodies, and the organization of climate zones. It also considers the human landscape including how populations are distributed, why they migrate, and the ways they alter natural and urban environments. As a tool to advance these spatial analyses, the Geography program teaches the use of both traditional and computer-based geotechnical skills (geotechniques) such as cartography, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS).

BSC (Hons) in Geography Do you have a fascination for the complex web of physical, biological and human interactions that shape our plane? Live your geography degree, using the iconic Lake District as your personal laboratory. Spend time exploring the diverse sites on your doorstep, from rolling hills to vast lakes. There is no better place to study Geography, than the heart of the Lake District. Our course encompasses human, physical and environmental geography, and explores many of the key grand challenges that face both humanity and the planet in the 21st century.

This BSc (Honours) in Geography and Environmental Science degree will help you understand and consider responses to urgent environmental challenges, including climate change, globalisation, development, biodiversity loss, migration and urbanisation. It takes a holistic approach, combining geography and environmental science.

The primary purpose of the BSc Honours qualification is to consolidate and deepen the students’ knowledge and expertise in Geography and to develop research capacity in the methodology and techniques of it. BSc Honours is essentially a coursework degree of which at least 25% (30) of the credits are devoted to a research project and reporting under supervision.

The Geography Department empowers students to address several contemporary problems such as physical resource development, racial/ethnic patterns, urban decay, business geography, and pollution. The curriculum helps students better understand how natural and human environments become organized geographically by institutional decisions and the consequences of human actions.

Join our BSc (Hons) Geography and discover how, at both local and global levels, many of the main challenges facing the world in the 21st century are related to geography. Studying an exciting mix of physical, environmental and human geography, this course will equip you with the wide range of knowledge and skills needed for the modern workplace.

The Degree in Geography and History presents a multidisciplinary and versatile nature that qualifies for a wide range of professional opportunities such as educational services, administration services or the media.

The BSc Physical Geography and Oceanography programme ensures research & practice-led studies of the physical environment with a special focus on the marine environment. The main aim of the programme is to prepare highly qualified specialists who are able to creatively apply the acquired knowledge of geo-information technologies and physical geography in the fields of the marine environment, land management, and environmental protection.
