About this course

Geography is one of the most intellectually diverse disciplines available at degree level, spanning the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to understand the world we inhabit.

Human geography explores how people organise themselves across space, studying cities, migration, development, inequality, and the political and economic forces that produce different places and landscapes.
