Geography

This course is concerned with understanding the Earth's environments and the global concerns of humanity. It offers a perfect balance of skills learning and practical fieldwork.

Subjects include globalisation, sustainable development, climate change and mitigation, social justice, cities and ruralities, resource management, geomorphology and geophysical hazards, oceans and atmospheres, environmental monitoring and biodiversity.

This course places a strong emphasis on the applied nature of geography. That is, we learn by ‘doing' geography. This means that your studies will be guided by real-world contexts and challenges, working in partnership with local authorities, community groups, international agencies, and NGOs, both in the UK and on fieldwork abroad. It will help you become an independent and critical thinker who can tackle real-world problems in your future career.

Below are the main field trips for the geography courses. Remember, they can vary from year to year according to circumstances and new opportunities. Some optional modules also involve local excursions.
