Mitigating climate change and enhancing sustainability are vital to the survival of the human and natural world. Delivered in a dynamic and engaging way, our BSc Geography degree will build your understanding of the processes that shape the environment and how humans respond to an ever-changing world. Accredited by the Royal Geographical Society, our course is designed to immerse you in human and physical geography. Across a range of carefully-designed modules packed with real-world relevance, you will have the option to focus on human geography, physical geography, or a combination. Led by research-active practitioners, you'll have options to learn about climate change and its effect on people and places, explore glaciers and global water resources, study fluvial processes and river restoration, and explore sustainability management strategies underpinning the greening of cities, transport geography, planning and beyond.Fieldwork is at the heart of your learning. We've aligned trips with specialist modules, so you develop applied skills and gain practical experiences that reinforce your knowledge. Typical destinations include the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Sheffield and Liverpool. You'll also experience residential field courses across the UK and other international locations - recent trips have taken us to Scandinavia, Barcelona and other destinations. A unique feature at Salford is that the cost of your fieldtrips is covered by your tuition fees, so that all geography students are able to enjoy them.
