BSc (Hons) Geography

Geography at Winchester takes a hands-on, practical approach. You could be advising imaginary governments on globalisation, population growth, resource shortages, geopolitical instability and managing natural hazards. You could be planning and carrying out a day of surveying at a site subject to sea level rise and erosion threats, or gathering field samples to analyse past climates. Winchester is set on the edge of the South Downs National Park, just half an hour from the coast and an hour by train from London, and is perfectly placed to make the most of the diverse and beautiful landscapes that surround the city, for both fieldwork and for recreation. Each year of study has a distinct emphasis. In Year 1 you receive a broad introduction to geography and geographical issues. You will acquire in-depth knowledge on the climate emergency and consequences for society and responses. In Year 2, you are encouraged to develop your geographical practice through specialised modules including the option for international fieldwork, laboratory and technology-based elements. You also have the option of studying abroad for a semester during this year. The development of your skills is key, for example analysing geodata and becoming proficient in Geographic Information Systems as well as learning ‘cultural agility,’ the ability to understand and work across cultures and environments. By your final year you will be ready to apply your expertise to understand complex geographical problems thr
