Introduction:

Disaster relief, the climate crisis, diminishing resources, and social inequity: where others see questions, geographers find answers. Our course attracts everyone from the environmentally curious to the ecologically inspired; people who are naturally passionate about how humans interact with the environment, and vice versa. With us, you won’t just learn how the world works — you’ll find out how to make a meaningful difference to it.

Delivered at our stunning Brackenhurst Campus, this highly practical degree is packed with fieldwork, trips and opportunities to get your hands dirty. Geography’s a broad discipline, and that’s why you’ll be able to choose what areas of geography you study – your degree, your choice. You could complete an industry placement on the sandwich route, and study in locations such as Australia or Canada as part of our international exchange programme. We’ve built this course around exciting real-world experiences, because we think you should graduate with more than just a qualification.

Geography students are prized for their versatility, and the subject has one of the UK’s highest employment rates. You’ll develop an impressive portfolio of technical and transferable skills, becoming a natural writer, and an inquisitive researcher who’s great with data. Our grads work as everything from environmental risk assessors to sustainability consultants, from corporate roles in big multinationals to on-the-ground disaster aid with NGOs. With a great geography degree, your choices are almost endless!

We also offer BSc (Hons) Geography (with foundation year). Our integrated foundation degrees offer a unique gateway to our BSc courses for those who currently don't meet the degree-level entry criteria.

  • From the fields of Brack to the landscapes of Europe, fieldwork is at the core of what we do — but as Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) accreditees, we avoid travel for travel’s sake. We ensure our trips are environmentally responsible, ethical, and accessible to every student.
  • We were one of the first universities to receive accreditation from the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) — a real stamp of approval. The 2023 National Student Survey also confirmed that we're in the top 5 in the UK for Geography students who are positive about the assessment and feedback on their course (full-time first degrees).
  • We’re the world’s second-most sustainable university (2022 UI GreenMetric rankings). Thinking green isn’t just a bolt-on at NTU; it’s a part of our DNA.
  • Studying at Brackenhurst, you’ll get the best of both worlds: a specialist rural campus of your own, with one of the world’s top 50 student cities just a bus-hop away.

What you’ll study

The course focuses on environmental geography. Those environments can be physical, and they can be cultural — the societies we have built, and the Earth they exist upon. We’ll look at the issues that define these different worlds, plus the key trends and connections that bind them all together.

Along the way, there’ll be domestic and international trips, plus constant fieldwork at Brack – our own 200-hectare outdoor classroom. In the past, we’ve explored the volcanic moonscapes of Tenerife, visited the rolling countryside of north Wales, and taken fresh perspectives on some renowned UK destinations. We have adopted and signed the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Principles for Undergraduate Field Courses.

The course culminates in a dissertation: your own independent study project, inviting you to take a deep dive on a subject of your choosing. You can do this on home soil, or venture further afield — previously, our grads have conducted their projects in places as varied as California, Texas, Iceland, and Italy.

Whatever your preferred route, our range of elective modules gives you a genuine opportunity to personalise your studies in line with your own ambitions. You’ll customise your degree experience by choosing from areas such as:

  • managing natural hazards and disasters
  • agriculture and food security
  • the global climate emergency
  • sustainable development
  • natural resource management
  • inequality and social justice
  • GIS and remote sensing
  • renewable energy
  • land degradation and desertification.

Study with us, and you’ll graduate as a truly global citizen, with worldwide geographical perspectives. Our course is theoretically rigorous, but also very hands-on. We’ll build up your confidence by encouraging you to try new things. As well as landscapes at home and abroad, you’ll explore your own mind, as you examine what it is to be a geographer, and why the subject matters. But most of all, you’ll be part of a genuine and inclusive community — even getting the chance to work with our own academics on real research projects.

Here’s a detailed, year-by-year breakdown of the modules you’ll study:

Geographies of Global Change

Explore the geopolitical and cultural framework in which the world moves today, and investigate trends, transactions and patterns in environmental governance. Topics include globalisation, the geography of trading, and the changing status of women in the global economy.

Weather and Climate

Explore the Earth's climate system, weather patterns and the ways in which these are being altered by human activity to cause the global climate emergency.

Geographical Fieldwork

Develop problem-solving skills in a range of issues in human and physical geography. Gain an awareness of different environments, both locally and overseas. Fieldwork has previously been undertaken both in the UK and in the province of Almería, south-east Spain.

Earth Systems

Learn about the Earth’s surface systems, processes and geology and develop your understanding of how the physical landscape is shaped.

Practical and Professional Skills

Develop an understanding of the range of skills required in Geography, such as geographical data collection, data analysis and report writing.

Global Environmental Issues

Study contemporary global environmental issues and their underlying causes, including how humans impact the environment and how the natural environment impacts human society.

Principles and Practice in Geography

You’ll use a number of case studies – including a local one you’ll conduct yourself – to become familiar with, and learn the key approaches and issues associated with, practising geography.

Geographical Information Systems and Spatial Analysis

Study the mapping and analytical techniques used in geographical information systems (GIS). Explore the applications of technology across a wide range of topic areas.

Global Climate Emergency

Climate change and our response to it is arguably one of the most pressing issues affecting the earth in modern history. In this module you will address the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, food production, water resources, energy use and many other issues. The module focuses on the science and perceptions of climate change, and how we respond and adapt to it.

You'll also choose three optional modules.

Sustainability

Explore the meaning of sustainability and how this impacts our relationship with the natural world. You’ll learn about the conflicts that persist within this between rich and poor countries, those that wish to exploit resources and those that wish to conserve them. You'll also look at the development needs of current and future generations.

Natural Hazards and Disasters

This module explores environmental hazards which directly threaten human life or economic well-being. You’ll examine their physical causes and social impacts alongside assessing the threats they pose. You'll also explore the actions needed to manage the aftermath of environmental hazards and reduce disaster potential.

River Dynamics and Management

Understand the controls and process-form interactions within river systems, together with the applied aspects of river management. Via a combination of lectures, practical sessions and fieldwork you will undertake surveys and monitoring in river environments. You'll examine how to link theory to practical application and how this fits in with current national and international concerns with regard to river dynamics.

International Development and Social Justice

You'll critically explore international development by looking into the histories of development and the relationship between development and colonialization. This will involve unpacking the links between contemporary international development discourse, foreign policy, and social justice.

Law and Policy

Throughout this module you’ll investigate the development, implementation and impact of environmental policies and laws. You’ll explore the protection of the environment through environmental politics, policy processes and generation of specific environmental legislation.

Environmental Change (Fieldwork)

This module covers aspects of environmental change that have taken place during the parts of the Quaternary Period, which is the last c. 2.6 million years of Earth’s recent history, and through to contemporary environmental change. This includes landscape evolution, challenges managing a national park, and evolving energy generation sources in the context of the UK’s carbon emissions. The delivery of the module is currently via residential fieldwork, previously undertaken in north Wales.

This is a placement year for students on the four-year course

Dissertation

Undertake independent research under supervision. Focus on your own area of interest within geography.

Contemporary Topics in Geography

You'll combine your learning on the course and your wider experience to delve deeply into a social or environmental issue that matters to you. Develop ideas that could be used to positively impact an organisation grappling with this issue and reflect on your future aspirations and employability.

You'll also choose four optional modules.

Natural Resource Management

Throughout this module, you’ll study the exploitation of natural resources in a range of environments. You’ll also explore both the scientific principles and political, economic and social structures needed to explore the management of natural resources.

Drylands

Drylands embrace a number of environments, ranging from sandy deserts to temperate grasslands and savannas. This module explains why the myth that drylands are empty, barren places with little economic value is flawed and explores their global socio-economic importance.

Global Agriculture and Food Security

Gain an insight into the global agricultural industry and investigate the concepts of production in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. You’ll learn about the current agricultural practice and policy in the UK and EU, investigate current scientific advances, explore issues relating to harvesting and production of food from sustainable sources, and consider global food security.

Applications of Remote Sensing

This module will build on your knowledge of managing geographical information learnt in your first and second year. You’ll learn how to process, analyse and interpret information from a range of existing remote sensing techniques. You'll also obtain information for mapping and spatial analysis using data from both historical and the very latest high-resolution sensors.

Energy for a Low Carbon Future

Investigate how to harness and distribute safe, clean energy from sources that do not deplete with use. Consider the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for energy and evaluate the choices available for the future.

Glaciers and Glaciation

Develop your understanding of glaciers and ice sheets in the context of current climate change. You'll also look at the importance of glaciers and ice sheets from both a hazards and resource perspective. A key aspect in the delivery of this module is the practical use of data sets from currently glaciated environments such as Svalbard, Iceland, and the Alps.

How you’re taught

Compared to other institutions, we’ve got a great sense of community at Brackenhurst. Our classes are smaller, our bonds are tighter, and it’s a more personal learning experience — one delivered on friendly, first-name terms.

As well as regular lectures, you’ll be learning through group exercises, seminars, and hands-on practical work. As the course progresses, a range of optional modules give you the opportunity to coordinate your studies around your main interests and career goals. Throughout the course, you’ll also enjoy one-to-one support from your own dedicated personal tutor.

This course is about looking at the bigger picture, so we take a cross-disciplinary approach. You’ll work with a range of specialists and take different approaches, so you can cover every basis and dig deep into the areas that interest you most. To minimise the jump from uni to the professional world, you’ll have day-one access to industry-standard tools and technology, including specialist GIS software, a geospatial computer room, and plenty of on-site fieldwork at our beautiful, expansive Brackenhurst Campus. At NTU, our equipment is for teaching and learning — not just research.

Please note that field trip locations may vary and are subject to availability and change.
