Mitigating the effects of climate change is vital to the survival of the human and natural world. With our BSc Geography degree, you can build an understanding of the processes that shape the natural environment and how they affect our planet - delivered in a dynamic and engaging way.

Accredited, engaging learning

Accredited by the Royal Geographical Society, our course is designed to immerse you in physical geography. Across a range of carefully-designed modules packed with real-world relevance, you will explore the ecological impact of changes in our natural world. Led by research-active practitioners, you'll learn about climate change and its effect on people and places. You'll explore glaciers and global water resources. You'll examine fluvial processes, river restoration and management strategies.

Out in the field

Fieldwork is at the heart of your learning. We've aligned trips with specialist modules, so you develop applied skills and gain practical experiences that reinforce your knowledge. Typical destinations include the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Sheffield and Liverpool. You'll also experience residential field courses across the UK and other international locations -  a recent trip took us to Scandinavia. You can also include a placement to boost your real-world experience.

Geography graduates typically secure roles with environmental consultancies, utility companies, and not-for profit organisations. Global interest in the natural world often takes many overseas. Some graduates have chosen to share their knowledge through education and teaching. A growing number are also choosing to progress their subject knowledge through postgraduate studies in a geographical discipline.
