Our three-year BA Geography degree is suitable for students who know that their main interest lies in the field of human geography. The study of geography has never been more relevant, from understanding how landscapes are shaped to how populations move and interact; to the impact climate change has on us. Through this degree, you will explore topical issues including the processes that shape the global economy, mobility and migration, creative geographies, and political geography. You'll also get the chance to develop some valuable transferable work skills in your penultimate year of study through a year abroad.Human geographers study a wide range of topics, including the distribution of population, urbanization, economic development, globalization, and political systems. They use a variety of research methods, to examine the complex interactions between humans and their environment.Overall, human geography seeks to explore how landscapes are shaped and discover how populations move and interact.If you're particularly focused on enhancing your employability and have a keen interest in human geography, this scheme is an excellent choice that will equip you with highly desirable practical, numerical, and computational skills for a wide range of careers. Just a short drive from the UK's first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Gower Peninsula, you will have easy access to Bannau Brycheiniog, rural west Wales and the urban and industrial landscapes of South Wales. You'll also have an opportunity to carry out fieldwork overseas in Berlin, New York, or Vancouver.You will be taught in our £4.2m state-of-the-art Science laboratories, in a vibrant and friendly department. You'll have access to our high-performance computer lab for processing and interpreting satellite Earth observation and GIS data, a stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer, a climatic test chamber, mineral magnetic characterisation equipment and an automatic organic carbon analyser.We guarantee that you will be made a conditional offer for a course at Swansea University.
