Geography is the study of the surface of the Earth as the site of human living and working. It considers the variability in physical and human landscapes, along with the interrelationships binding them together. This degree programme is accredited by the Institute of Environmental Sciences and the Royal Geographical SocietyOur location:- a culturally and historically significant city, close to some of the most the spectacular landscapes in the world gives us an unparalleled advantage in the study of both human and physical geography. Fieldwork is a fundamental part of studying Geography at the University of Glasgow, and all students undertake residential field classes in the Scottish Highlands and Mallorca, giving you a comprehensive learning experience. Geography can be studied as one of three different degrees in Arts, Science or Social Sciences. The Geography component of each degree is identical the difference is additional subjects that can be taken in years 1 and 2. If you intend to continue to Honours, you will attend a week-long residential field course in year 2 to extend the field, laboratory and statistical skills introduced earlier by focusing on group projects, data collection, problem solving, and presentations. This training is developed in year 3 in a week-long overseas field class focusing on dissertation-related project work.Recent graduates are employed as coastal and river engineers, field studies tutors, public engagement officer and hydrographic surveyors, and have found opportunities with the Scottish Government, British Red Cross, Transport Scotland, Scottish Water, SEPA and SNH.
