Overview
This degree is perfect for you if you wish to experience the full breadth of Geography, but would like specialise primarily in Physical Geography. After a common first year with BA students, in years two and three we offer a diversity of optional Physical Geography modules, covering topics spanning everything from tropical rainforests and deserts to satellite data and climate change. There remain Human Geography module options in years two and three, so you can tailor your degree to become a generalist, or a specialist in Physical Geography, depending on your interests. Throughout you will gain transferable skills in remote sensing, geographical information science (GIS) and statistical and data presentation methods. If at the end of year one you decide you would prefer to focus primarily on human geography, you can transfer to the BA degree in year two. Other official national and international qualifications considered from across the world. You can review some of the qualifications we accept on our countries page and English Language equivalencies.
