Course summary

Geography is the study of Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments; quite simply it is about the world in which we live. Geography is unique in bridging the social sciences (human geography), with the natural sciences (physical geography). Reading around the subject and keeping up to date with current geographical issues are essential for this ever-changing subject. You will also be required to write formal essays, undertake fieldwork, conduct individual research and deliver presentations.
