Our three-year Bachelor of Arts in Geography program caters to students with a stronger focus on human geography. You'll explore diverse geographical topics such as global environmental shifts, urban development patterns, creative spatial studies, and population movements.
Swansea University's Geography department welcomes students from around the globe. Located on our beautiful Singleton Park campus with views of Swansea Bay, your education will be guided by distinguished academics like Professor Tavi Murray, the first female recipient of the Polar Medal for exceptional contributions to polar science, and Professor Adrian Luckman, whose groundbreaking climate research on the Larsen C ice shelf collapse gained worldwide attention.
This flexible degree program allows you to tailor your studies by combining human and physical geography courses. You'll have options to spend a year studying internationally or gaining professional experience through local, national, or international industry placements.
Fieldwork forms a core component of our approach at Swansea. Students participate in field courses visiting spectacular locations including the Gower Peninsula, as well as international destinations like Borneo, the Indian Himalayas, and Mallorca.
