Geography is the integrated study of landscapes, peoples, places and environments and is, therefore, a vital subject through which to increase understanding of our rapidly changing planet. Through the interlinked strands of human and physical geography, the discipline bridges the social sciences and natural sciences.Our BSc Geography degree provides a broad foundation of physical and human geography in Year 1 and then allows you to increasingly specialise in physical geography, or maintain a balance of physical and human geography, in subsequent years.When it comes to designing your degree, undergraduates benefit directly from staff research expertise through the modular choices available. Our academic staff are driving forward intellectual agendas in physical and human geography, as well as helping to shape national and international policy. This expertise ensures that the knowledge you are getting throughout your BSc Geography degree programme is at the cutting-edge of scientific research and focused on some of the most important issues in society today.What's the difference between BA and BSc?Both the Geography BA (Hons) degree and Geography BSc (Hons) degree provide a sound understanding of how social and physical processes affect our rapidly changing planet, before allowing you to specialise in human geography (BA) or physical geography (BSc). It is still possible to maintain a balance of human and physical geography, and both the BA and BSc allow you to do this.
