BSc (Hons) Geography

... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Mitigating climate change and enhancing sustainability is vital to the survival of the human and natural world. Delivered dynamically and engagingly, 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 can 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 field trips is covered by your tuition fees so that all geography students can enjoy them. You can also include a placement to boost your real-world experience.

You will:

  • Learn about a range of topics, from climate change, glaciers, fluvial processes, and river restoration to urban planning, radical sustainability, and much more, depending on your preferences for human geography, physical geography, or a combination of the two

  • Gain real-world, hands-on experience as you participate in fieldwork trips

  • Build a strong skillset as you benefit from a small group teaching approach
