MA (Hons) Geography/History in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Geography explores Earth's surface as the setting for human life and activities. It examines variations in both natural and human-made environments and the connections between them. This program holds accreditation from the Institute of Environmental Sciences and the Royal Geographical Society
Our setting:- positioned in a city rich in culture and history, near some of the planet's most breathtaking scenery, provides exceptional opportunities for studying both human and physical geography. Fieldwork is essential to Geography studies at the University of Glasgow, with all students participating in residential field trips to the Scottish Highlands and Mallorca for a well-rounded educational experience. Geography can be pursued through three distinct degree paths in Arts, Science, or Social Sciences. While the Geography curriculum remains the same across these degrees, the difference lies in the supplementary subjects available during the first two years. Those progressing to Honours will join a week-long residential field course in year 2, building on earlier field, lab, and statistical training through group projects, data gathering, problem-solving, and presentations. This preparation continues in year 3 with an international field class focused on dissertation-related research.
Alumni have secured roles as coastal and river engineers, outdoor education instructors, community outreach coordinators, and marine surveyors, working with organizations like the Scottish Government, British Red Cross, Transport Scotland, Scottish Water, SEPA, and SNH.
