About the course
Our BA degree provides a broad foundation of human and physical geography in Year 1 and then allows you to increasingly specialise in human geography, or maintain a balance of human and physical geography, in subsequent years.
When it comes to designing your degree, undergraduates benefit directly from staff research expertise through the modular choices available. Our academic staff are driving forward intellectual agendas in physical and human geography, as well as helping to shape national and international policy. This expertise ensures that the knowledge you are getting throughout your degree programme is at the cutting-edge of scientific research and focused on some of the most important issues in society today.

Your personal tutor will introduce you to personal development planning which is done alongside your Geography degree to prepare you for graduate life.
