**Our Environmental Geography degree looks to offer a unique learning experience by providing you with the opportunity to combine the holistic investigative approach of a geographer with the applied skills of an environmental manager in order to address the significant environmental challenges faced by society today.**
You will study a range of modules that develop skills in geographical investigation, while also studying how to mitigate and ameliorate climatic and environmental changes. This combination of traditional Geography with Environmental Management offers a unique opportunity for you to develop those skills required by society.
At the heart of this course is a year abroad in the USA at our partner institution Toledo University in Ohio. Building on over 30 years of successful exchanges with Toledo University, you will spend the second year of your study based 1 hour from Detroit in the city of Toledo. This will enable you to explore the physical and human landscapes of Ohio and surrounding landscapes, whilst being embedded in the Geography and Planning department of the University.
You will:
- Have opportunity to study at the University of Toledo in the USA for a year as part of your programme
- Be taught by internationally recognised experts in a number of fields of Geography and Environmental Management
- Study across both Geography and Environmental Management subject areas
Course Details - Modules
During the first year, you will follow a structured suite of modules, carefully designed to increase your subject knowledge, develop confidence and prepare you for the rest of the programme. Themes covered include the effects of climate change, earth surface processes, food security, fluvial processes, resources, sustainability and how to manage impacts on the environment. The first year also looks to develop practical skills which you get to practice and implement on a UK-based residential field course.
In the second year you will conduct the Studies in the USA element of the programme. This involves you spending your second year at the University of Toledo in the USA. You will undertake studies at Toledo in themes such as conservation, environmental planning, industrial geography, while developing skills in mapping, Geographical Information Systems and quantitative methods.
In the final year you will undertake a dissertation (independent research project) and a compulsory module in Mitigating Climate Change. In addition you will have the option to study themes around environmental modelling, remote sensing, corporate environmental management, environmental decision making and sustainability in urban areas. For your dissertation you will be encouraged to develop a topic around the mitigation and amelioration of climate and environmental change.
