Our scientific understanding of the natural and physical environment is key to addressing issues like climate change, pollution, and land degradation.
On our Environmental Geography Master's course, you will study how the Earth functions and the science behind the human impact on the planet over time. You will look at environments across the world, from the extreme poles to tropical coral reefs, exploring the pressures they face today and in the future. You will use the latest technologies and develop skills in geographical mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving.
We make the most of our location and take regular day trips to Gower, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. There will also be opportunities to do overseas trips, in the past weve been to the Netherlands and Switzerland.
We are a friendly and informal school and you will be taught by world-leading experts involved in cutting-edge international research.
Our teaching approach is a mix of theory and practical and includes: lectures, laboratory work, fieldwork, tutorials, workshops and seminars. You will also be encouraged to learn independently and within groups throughout the course, developing a wide range of skills which will be essential for your future employment including project management and organisational skills as well as developing your competence in applying information technology and using state-of-the-art field techniques and equipment.
