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

Geography examines Earth's surface as the setting for human activity and development. It explores variations in both natural and cultural 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. Field research forms a core element of Glasgow University's Geography program, with all students participating in residential field trips to the Scottish Highlands and Mallorca, ensuring a well-rounded 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 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 fieldwork, lab, and statistical training through group projects, data gathering, analytical challenges, and presentations. This preparation advances in year 3 during an international field class concentrating on dissertation-related research.
Alumni have secured roles including coastal and river engineers, outdoor education instructors, community outreach coordinators, and marine surveyors, working with organizations such as the Scottish Government, British Red Cross, Transport Scotland, Scottish Water, SEPA, and SNH.
