Overview

In our ever-changing world, we need skilled MSci Geography graduates who can understand and provide solutions to critical global issues like climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and volcanic hazards. At UEA, you’ll learn from world-leading researchers and develop specialist analysis skills on this exciting and dynamic course. You’ll take part in field trips to diverse locations such as Devon, the Lake District, Scotland, and Greece. You’ll study in our purpose-built laboratories, master geographical information systems (GIS) software, and most importantly, graduate with the skills to make a meaningful impact. This degree is highly flexible, offering you a broad choice of topics across physical and human geography. Specialisms include climate science, environmental policy, Earth resources, river catchment management, urban geography, biodiversity conservation, energy systems, and environmental economics. You’ll graduate with highly valued transferable skills, ranging from data analysis and fieldwork to spatial visualisation, science communication, and social theories of change. Your ability to work across both the physical and social sciences is highly sought after in private and public sector jobs, where you'll be able to provide real-world solutions to today's challenges. If you wish to continue your studies with the possibility of pursuing a PhD, this advanced four-year integrated Master's degree is also ideal. Check out Jessica’s story, who is now working as a Planner, having graduated with a BSc in Geography from UEA.
