BSc Geography (Single Honours) - UCAS code F800

 

Our single honours Geography degree is popular and accounts for over half of the students in the Department. The emphases of the degree reflect the research interests of our academic staff and develop four main themes: globalization, geographies of identity and difference, earth surface processes, and ecological and hydrological processes. Students take mainly geography modules, although there is the opportunity to take modules offered by other departments in years 2 and 3.
