Year 2: Courses in your second year build on the foundations you have laid in first year. Human geography focuses on globalisation and its counterpart localisation, examining these processes in their economic, cultural, political and social dimensions. Physical geography emphasises the role of processes in shaping landscapes and in the ways in which the Earth changes over different timescales.

You will explore human and physical processes, examining environmental problems and their possible resolutions through policy, and you will be trained in statistical methods and laboratory analysis using a mixture of fieldwork and our own IT and physical geography laboratories.

You will also study one or two other subjects in year 2 according to your interests: see Degrees in Arts, Science and Social Sciences.

Years 3 and 4: If you progress to Honours (years three and four) you will study both core and optional courses over your third and fourth years. Core courses are related to advanced training methods such as computerised data analysis, modelling, geographical information systems, interviewing and interpretative methods.
