Geography (Human and Physical)

For example, you can examine:

the differences and dynamics of political systems and cultures

sustainable development of urban spaces

the way the natural environment responds to – and recovers from – change.

This three-year course also offers you the chance to help address issues critical to our shared global future, including:

climate change

natural disasters

social inequalities

poverty.

At Reading, our geography research feeds directly into our teaching, so you’ll study current topics of interest in the field. You’ll also work with internationally renowned academics, whose projects investigate topics like neighbourhood regeneration, resilience and sustainability, food and consumerism in the media, and responses to epidemics in developing countries. You will also have the flexibility to decide where to focus your attention as your degree progresses, so you can adapt the degree to suit your interests as they evolve. This programme has been accredited by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in geographical knowledge and skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of the world beyond higher education. The accreditation criteria require evidence that graduates from accredited programmes meet defined sets of learning outcomes, including subject knowledge, technical ability and transferable skills.
