Geography

UCL (University College London)

Our Geography BSc combines physical and human geography, addressing urgent global issues including climate change, migration, geopolitics and urban development. You will benefit from field trips, a wide variety of module options, and an innovative curriculum that is shaped by the cutting-edge research of our world-leading academics. The Geography BA and BSc share core elements at the start, providing you with a strong foundation on which to build your geographical education. In year one you take five compulsory modules - two on Thinking Geographically and two on Geography in the Field, plus Understanding Our Planet. You can then take three optional modules from the four we offer, or you can take two of those and one module from outside the department.In year two, one or two compulsory modules are supplemented by six or seven optional modules selected from a substantial pool, including field classes. We put a lot of emphasis on research design this year. At this point you may begin to focus on topics such as environmental and conservation management, remote sensing, geomorphology and climate change. You may also take one module from outside the department.
