Overview

This degree is perfect for you if you want to focus exclusively on the social science elements of Geography. It allows you to study human, digital and environmental geographies alongside Sociology, Politics and International Relations and Modern Languages. By doing so you will not only explore pressing contemporary geographical questions like migration, environmental governance, sustainability, you will be able to consider them from a wider interdisciplinary social science perspective. Throughout your degree, there will be an emphasis on critical thinking and the development of a suite of quantitative and qualitative research skills. We encourage and train our students to be critical and creative in their research approaches and methods. We use innovative teaching and assessment methods and encourage our students to reflect upon the role Human Geographers play in the modern world. This degree involves no physical geography, although some modules operate at the interface of physical and human geography (e.g. Climate Change). If you like the sound of this degree, but do not want to ignore physical geography completely you should consider the Geography BA course Other official national and international qualifications considered from across the world.
