Examine why the world is changing so quickly and how these changes affect the environment, cultures and economies at local, national and global levels. This course equips you with the skills required for a career in business, government agencies, NGOs, education, and development.
Develop the skills and knowledge employers are looking for: analytical writing, presentations, team work, and leadership. Strengthen your competence as a geographer through field work and analytical tools such as geographic information systems and remote sensing imagery. Tailor your degree to pursue your specialists interest by adding 'wild' modules from other schools.
You can take this programme as a four-year degree, including a work placement. The year in professional practice gives you the opportunity to spend up to a year undertaking work placements with organisations relevant to your degree programme. Placements can be at home or abroad, offering a unique experience to set you apart. See full details on the Human Geography with a Year in Professional Practice page.
We also offer a four-year Human Geography course where you spend a year studying abroad between your second and final year. Studying abroad is a great experience and gives you the opportunity to find out more about another country. For details, see Human Geography with a Year Abroad.
