Geography

About this programme

Will you focus on environmental issues? Geopolitics? Do you dream of making a difference in the charity sector, or using your analytical skills to help businesses thrive sustainably? As one of the most versatile degrees you can study, geography opens many doors. Our Geography with a Foundation Year starts with learning essential skills to prepare you for degree-level study. Passing this foundation year leads to our Geography BA/BSc. With our field trips, specialist labs, and strong alumni network, we’ll help you build the skills and network you’ll need to succeed in your dream career. In physical geography, topics include desertification, marine pollution, climate policy and biodiversity loss. In human geography, you could look at international governance, the political geography of borders, the future of cities, disaster management, or environmental hazards. These topics are all deeply interlinked. You'll explore the connections between people and the planet, learn to understand complex global problems and make a difference in the world. Build essential study skills with an integrated foundation year. Gain academic confidence, improve critical thinking, and strengthen subject knowledge for your degree journey. Instead of exams, you’ll complete assignments such as lab experiments and reports, or create presentations, reflecting what you may be tasked with in your career. Most year groups have around 25-60 students. Tutors quickly get to know students and are there whenever you need support.
