Program Overview

Are you interested in cultures, economies and societies and their interaction with the natural environment?

Our highly flexible Geography BA course allows you to focus on exciting aspects of human geography, such as:

cities past, present and future
culture and identity
economy and society
geopolitics
globalisation and international development
social justice.

But you’re also free to choose physical geography modules, for example environmental pollution or flood risk management and modelling.

We’ll train you in innovative social science research methods, from visual analysis to interviewing to geographical information systems (GIS).

Explore the world with us on fieldwork in places such as the US, India and Malaysia, as well as UK-based fieldwork, including opportunities right here in London.

Option modules in the second and final years allow you to direct your study towards your aims and interests. In the final year you’ll design your own project with guidance from our experts, developing the skills to become a researcher in your own right.
