Geography

About this course

Geography is an unusually wide-ranging discipline, spanning the physical processes that shape the Earth's surface and the human systems of settlement, economy, culture, and power that interact with those processes. It asks how landscapes are formed and transformed, how climate systems work, why some places develop and others decline, how environmental change intersects with human vulnerability, and what the geographies of justice and injustice look like at scales from the neighbourhood to the planet. Few disciplines range so freely between the natural and social sciences, and that breadth is both a challenge and a source of genuine intellectual richness. At the University of Portsmouth, this three-year, full-time programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement, giving it an unusually rich set of experiential learning opportunities. The sandwich year and placement
