This joint honours programme combines your study of Geography with Social Policy, allowing you to understand the world from the perspective of both academic disciplines. **Geography** Geography is the study of how our planet works. Through geography, you can explore biophysical processes, from volcanic eruptions to flooding and landslides. You can also study the human processes that give shape to cities, states, and communities - all against the backdrop of a changing climate. You can explore geography: * as a natural science that examines the Earth's surface processes through physical geography, or * through the social sciences and humanities as human geography **The MA Geography** The Master of Arts (MA) Geography, enables you to specialise in human geography. This discipline is key to understanding and resolving many of the most pressing problems faced by society. Human geographers study many different aspects of the modern world. They bring their research to inform on topics such as: * migration * mobility * public health * deprivation * urban justice * indigenous struggles * land rights * climate emergency * everyday life You'll learn about the relationships between people and their social, cultural, political, and economic worlds. Our MA in Geography also includes aspects of physical geography, as it is important to understand our impact on the world and our ways of living within it. The programme is flexible, so you will have opportunities to build your degree around areas that you are most curious or passionate about. **Social Policy** Through Social Policy, you will study society and how this changes through political debate and policy making. The subject appeals to students who are interested in current political and social issues, including how to: * organise and pay for health care * reduce inequalities * accommodate a more diverse and individualised society We work closely with governments, NGOs, third sector and interest representation groups, international organisations and other external actors. International comparative analyses are one of our main strengths. We place a strong emphasis on providing our students with empirical research skills, so that they can become critical researchers themselves.
