About this course
Geography, geopolitics and global affairs is a degree that sits at the point where the physical and human world intersects with the political forces shaping our time. Geography provides the spatial and environmental foundations, asking how places, landscapes, and ecosystems have developed and how human activity is transforming them. Geopolitics examines the relationships between geography and power, exploring how the control of territory, resources, and strategic locations shapes international relations and conflict. Global affairs brings in the full range of contemporary challenges, from climate change and migration to inequality, digital governance, and the shifting balance of global power. At Royal Holloway you will study this three-year full-time programme, which includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement. The year abroad is particularly important for a programme
