The aim of this module is to introduce students to the issues involved in the conception, design and execution of research projects. The module supports undergraduate research projects and dissertations in physical geography. It provides students with a theoretical and practical basis for choosing appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection, analysis, interpretation and communication.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to the issues involved in the conception, design and execution of research projects. The module supports undergraduate research projects and dissertations in human geography. It provides students with a theoretical and practical basis for choosing appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection, analysis, interpretation and communication.

The module will introduce the use of GIS and remote sensing systems as a means of addressing geographical questions through the use of digital geospatial data. Students will explore a variety of primary and secondary data acquisition methods including satellite-based remote sensing and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

They will engage in the organisation, manipulation, analysis and presentation of spatial data using GIS. Students will be able to use knowledge and skills from this module in practical project work. Examples will be drawn from both physical and human geography in the context of land use change and urban environments. Focus will be given to the development of those key and transferable hands-on skills of particular interest to graduate employers.

This module aims to:

• develop your understanding of how political, economic, cultural and development geographies are both shaping and impacted by globalization
• provide you with the geographical tools and theories necessary to interrogate critically contemporary and historical events as they relate to globalization

This module aims to:

• Develop an understanding of changes in the nature of geographical research about social difference over time.
• Develop an awareness of how social differences interact in a range of ways across space, place and time. This will include examining processes of social change in post-colonial societies.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to a range of the physical processes which shape the Earth's surface, and the landforms and landscapes that are the result.

This module provides a scientific basis for understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of environmental systems. It explores the interaction of these realms and assesses aspects of their management or mismanagement as resources that are useful to human endeavour.

The aim of this module is to use a geographical perspective to explore leading-edge processes of urban change and to critically analyse urban policy.

The aim of this module is to introduce the fundamentals of river science. The module focuses on the 'Stream in its Valley' and as such, emphasises those processes linking the main channel with the adjacent floodplain.

The aim of this module is to explore the purpose, needs, importance and challenges of monitoring environments that are changing because of human activity. The module focuses on aquatic systems (rivers, lakes, estuaries, coasts and the open ocean) as naturally highly variable, and increasingly impacted, environments that are both sinks of, and pathways for, society's environmental pressures in the Anthropocene. However, it is also of relevance to the atmospheric, terrestrial, and human systems to which aquatic environments are connected.

The aims of this module are for students to develop an understanding of both contemporary environmental processes and the importance of past environments in understanding the modern environment. Students will gain practical experience in a range of field and laboratory techniques in physical geography.

What do you know? What are skills? Where are they going to take you? This module will help you to answer those questions by building on transferrable skills and encouraging you to reflect on your learning. In addition, you’ll learn about the UK job market, and how to negotiate a range of recruitment tasks including decoding job specifications, writing an application, interviews, psychometric tests and the use of AI. Combine these with your degree and graduate with confidence.

This is a 10 credit module from the University-wide language programme.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to some key ecological processes in forest ecosystems. This will be focussed on assessing carbon storage and ecology using practical, problem-based and inquiry-based learning based on a 'real-life' consultancy scenario. Teaching will be student-led and involve field work on campus.

The aims of this module are to:

• familiarise students with contemporary trends in global migration and the social, political, and economic dynamics underlying migration patterns;
• engage students in contemporary theoretical debates regarding the causes of migration and its broader impact on both sending and receiving countries; and
• introduce students to current political debates regarding citizenship, migrants' rights and inclusion.

The aim of this module is to give students first-hand experience of a major city (which may be in the UK or overseas). Students will be familiarised with a range of field study techniques in urban and cultural geography which will enable them to acquire an in-depth understanding of the processes underlying contemporary city development and their historical context, and to interpret relevant urban theorisation.
