The Department of Geography is focused understanding the 'safety and health of the inhabited Earth'. Our mission is to deliver a degree that is relevant for environmental and societal challenges in the 21st century. The BSc (Hons) Geography explores environmental change and sustainability from local to global scales. We encourage students to develop the analytical, critical, and collaborative skills needed to work across broad interdisciplinary issues. We focus on the unity of geography emphasising the links between human and physical Geography as an integrative subject. Physical Geography provides the intellectual tools necessary to understand the relationship between human society and its environment, and the issues that challenge our future. This course is designed to develop subject understanding and geographical skills progressively in the context of real-world problems, enabling students to apply their learning to contemporary global challenges. A belief in the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge to address major issues is at the heart of our approach.
