Explore our natural and human worlds – and the complex relationships between the two – with our BSc Geography (Human and Physical) degree.
By combining your study of human and physical geographies, you can explore a hugely diverse range of topics. For example, you can examine:
* the differences and dynamics of political systems and cultures
* sustainable development of urban spaces
* the way the natural environment responds to – and recovers from – change.
This three-year course also offers you the chance to help address issues critical to our shared global future, including:
* climate change
* natural disasters
* social inequalities
* poverty.
At Reading, our geography research feeds directly into our teaching, so you’ll study current topics of interest in the field. You’ll also work with internationally renowned academics, whose projects investigate topics like neighbourhood regeneration, resilience and sustainability, food and consumerism in the media, and responses to epidemics in developing countries.
You will also have the flexibility to decide where to focus your attention as your degree progresses, so you can adapt the degree to suit your interests as they evolve.
**Careers**
Geography arms you with the ability to see the big picture. The intellectual, technical and team-working skills and knowledge you develop during your degree are sought by employers – and 95% of our graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2017/18, based on first degree responders from geography and environmental science).
You may choose to follow an interest in natural resources by working in renewable energy, or the environmental and agricultural sector.
