Geography explores Earth's surface as the foundation for human life and activities. It examines the diversity of natural and cultural environments and how they interconnect. This program holds accreditation from both the Institute of Environmental Sciences and the Royal Geographical Society
Our setting:- positioned in a city rich in culture and history, near some of Earth's most breathtaking scenery, provides exceptional opportunities for studying both human and physical geography. Field research forms a core element of Glasgow University's Geography program, with all students participating in residential fieldwork in Scotland's Highlands and Mallorca, ensuring a thorough educational journey. Geography is available as one of three degree options within Arts, Science, or Social Sciences. While the Geography curriculum remains consistent across these degrees, they differ in supplementary first and second-year subjects. Those progressing to Honours will join a week-long residential field trip in year 2, building on earlier field, lab, and statistical training through group projects, data gathering, analytical challenges, and presentations. This preparation advances in year 3 during an international field course centered on dissertation research projects.
Alumni have secured roles including coastal and river engineering specialists, outdoor education instructors, community outreach coordinators, and marine survey technicians, with positions at organizations like the Scottish Government, British Red Cross, Transport Scotland, Scottish Water, SEPA, and SNH.
