Exploring the way in which our physical environment develops and how humans affect natural processes and interact within the World is the basis of this vocational programme, which offers plenty of opportunities to apply your knowledge in practical contexts. The degree offers you opportunities for overseas fieldwork, currently including a core Level 5 trip to Greece to study tectonically complex environments impacted by development and tourism. In Level 6 we also run optional field trips in tectonically active, volcanic or glacial environments (current destination is Iceland) to study topics such as climate change, geohazards, landscape development, environmental change and sustainability. Not only are these field trips an important aspect of the study of geography, they are also, unsurprisingly, a highlight of the programme for our students. All day and residential field trips for core modules are funded by the University. The Level 6 expedition is optional and self-funding is required.* As well as studying a range of highly topical subject areas, you will also have access to the latest GIS software and state-of-the-art field and analytical equipment so that you can hone your analytical skills in the laboratory. The course also offers ample opportunity for work-related learning.

No interview required (UCAS application form only). All international qualifications are subject to a qualification equivalency check via NARIC.
