This program is ideal if you want to explore the full spectrum of Geography while focusing mainly on Physical Geography. Sharing a foundational first year with BA students, you'll then have access to a wide range of optional Physical Geography courses in Years 2 and 3, including studies of river ecosystems, tropical forests, arid landscapes, and climate dynamics. Human Geography electives remain available in later years, allowing you to customize your studies as either a well-rounded geographer or a Physical Geography specialist. You'll develop valuable skills in remote sensing, GIS, and data analysis techniques. The program features UK-based field trips in Years 1 and 2 to locations like Devon, Dartmoor, and the Lake District, plus an exciting expedition to Almeria, Spain in Year 2 to study Europe's sole desert. Year 3 offers opportunities for international fieldwork. Should you wish to shift your focus to Human Geography after Year 1, you can transition to the BA program for Year 2.
