We collaborate with the School of Environmental Sciences, which houses the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and a research group on Science, Society and Sustainability.
**About This Course**
On this course you'll study specialised human and social geography modules such as Geographies of Development, People and Place and Urban Geographies. You can select modules dedicated to the development of regions of the world such as Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. You also have the opportunity to choose from a range of related disciplines including anthropology, politics, economics, environmental studies and media.
Fieldwork and field courses are a vital part of the degree. Along with field-work elements in several of the taught modules, you'll benefit from a weekend residential trip in the first year. In the second year you will take a compulsory field trip module, either in the UK or overseas.
In your third year, you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands on experience through your dissertation research and/or Development Work Placement module.
