Undergraduate Programmes Arrow Geography and Management

BSc Geography and Management (Joint Honours) - UCAS code FN8F (3 years) UCAS code FN82 (4 years)

This multi-disciplinary degree will appeal to students who are looking not only to extend their geographical knowledge and understanding but also to gain an insight into business management. The programme is run jointly by Geography and the School of Business and Economics. Students spend equal amounts of time studying each subject and there is the opportunity to explore relationships between the two in an optional final year dissertation.

Students who register for the four-year sandwich degree will spend a year in industry between the second and final years of their degree. This Professional Placement is organised by the Business School and those who complete the year successfully not only receive a Diploma in Professional Studies as an additional qualification but will also have gained valuable experience in industry.

Compulsory and optional modules in Geography are drawn from those listed under the Geography (Single Honours) programme.
