Be a positive influence on a changing world and discover the social, economic and political forces that shape modern life with this globally relevant degree that’s accredited by the Royal Geographical Society.By learning about physical and human geography with a focus on the latter, you’ll tackle major issues like sustainability and globalisation and study how society responds to environmental issues.And you won’t just do it from the classroom, you’ll get the chance to see the world on a residential field trip abroad. Recent locations include Barcelona, Berlin, Rome, Hong Kong and Malawi. We take a hands-on approach to learning and you’ll also broaden your horizons with a year of study at one of our partner universities across Europe, Asia, North America, or Australia, gaining new skills, building international contacts, and immersing yourself in a different culture and environment.


Why study at Hull?

- Unique facilities: Study in state-of-the-art facilities, like our Flume Laboratory, a space for studying the bodies of water that dominate our planet.- Real-world experience: Apply your knowledge on visits to places like Barcelona, Berlin, Iceland, Rome, Hong Kong and Malawi.- Accredited course: Study materials accredited by the Royal Geographical Society, focusing on topics within social science and humanities.


Where could this take me?

You’ll graduate ready to tackle some of the world’s biggest issues. And you’ll be highly employable with plenty of transferable skills. The world is your oyster when it comes to employment. You could become an environmental consultant, conservation officer, hydrographer, flood risk modeller, or GIS technician, but there are plenty of other avenues to explore too including teaching and town planning. Previous students have found work with organisations like Burberry, Lincolnshire County Council, the Met Office, American Express, the British Army, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and KPMG.
