Geography

Course summary

Geography has come a long way from the learning of capital cities and colouring in maps. From climate change to food security, poverty to piracy, this course examines the relationship between people and the environment, helping you develop a critical understanding of some of the most pressing challenges facing 21st-century societies today. You will study four main themes throughout the course, which address both human and physical geography. The topics covered include development in Africa, global systems and governance, changing places, carbon and water cycles, and tectonic hazards. Fieldwork is an integral part of the course – get your walking boots on! We visit various regions of the UK to study things like hydrological change, rural settlement and glaciation.
