BSc (Hons) Geography with Foundation Year

A foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education when you don’t reach the entry requirements for your subject.

Examine the Earth’s rapidly changing landscapes with a dynamic and multi-disciplinary Geography degree from Canterbury Christ Church University. Study Geography to grasp the connection between the social and natural sciences and interact with innovative research.

Guided by the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals, you’ll explore prominent issues that affect the global population. From climate change and global inequalities to economic development and biodiversity, studying Geography will readily prepare you for a variety of sectors.

Explore new landscapes and immerse yourself in local cultures through our range of field trips. Previous trips have included India, Iceland, and Malta.

Whilst studying Geography at CCCU, you’ll increase your confidence in the laboratory as you’ll develop a wide range of lab skills to complement your geographical knowledge and field techniques.

At CCCU, you’ll also be able to get involved with current research that our lecturers undertake. There are currently multiple projects that you can work on, including the reintroduction of bison in Kent; the use of geographical evidence in forensic investigation; and using invasive mussels as a sustainable method to clean polluted rivers.

Over four years, you will develop the skills to collect, manipulate, analyse, map, visualise and communicate geographical phenomena independently as you research topics of your own choice, often with specific employment goals in mind.
