**Overview** Combine the study of human geography with international development to learn how to tackle the biggest challenges facing the modern world – poverty and inequality, food security, climate change, conflict, global governance, sustainability and migration. You’ll study geography in depth and apply your knowledge and analysis to issues in international development. The course emphasises academic rigour and technical skills, whilst building your employability. You’ll gain practical skills training, field experience, and IT skills including in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Our School of International Development is internationally renowned for its research. We’re home to the Water Security Research Centre. We have important research groups in areas such as Global Environmental Justice, Lifecourse and Migration, and Gender. 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** You will start your degree with a foundation year to help you develop the skills and knowledge you will need to succeed, exploring global challenges, (such as climate change, HIV/AIDS, migration and democracy), and being supported to learn and study effectively. You will have the chance to get a taste of previously unknown areas of study and you’ll be actively encouraged to develop your own scholarly interests, so when you successfully finish your foundation year, you’ll be perfectly placed to progress to Year 1. After your foundation year, you will study specialised human and social geography modules such as Geographies of Development, People and Place and Urban Geographies. At the same time, you will be able to select modules dedicated to the development of regions of the world such as Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America, and a range of complementary options from related disciplines including anthropology, politics, economics, environmental studies and media. Fieldwork and field courses are a vital part of the degree. In addition to field-work elements in a number of the taught modules, in Year 2 you will take a compulsory field trip module, in either the UK or overseas. In Year 3, you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands on experience through your dissertation research and/or Development Work Experience module. Although registered on the BA Geography and International Development degree, successful completion of the foundation year allows entry to any of the interdisciplinary undergraduate degree pathways in the School of International Development (DEV), including: BA International Development, BA International Development with Anthropology, BA International Development with Economics, BA International Development with Politics, BA Media and International Development, BA Geography and International Development, BA International Development Management andBSc International Development and the Environment. All degrees in the School of International Development offer additional options to take a study abroad year, a placement year or a placement module. During your foundation year, we will work with you to help you make the best decision for your interests and career goals. Students would also have the option to transfer to the BA Geography in the School of Environmental Sciences. **Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
