Delve into an exploration of the dynamic and ever-changing world we live in – from volcanoes and earthquakes to climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Our BA Geography degree focuses on the human impact of our changing world, exploring questions such as: How do we respond effectively to climate change? How should we manage our dwindling resources? How might we deal with population growth in cities? And what are the challenges of more sustainable lifestyles? At UEA, you’ll study some of the most pressing problems facing the planet, including climate change, resource management, urban change, health, migration and poverty. Your studies will span both human and physical geography, but with an emphasis on human geography. You’ll learn from world-leading researchers, exploring the interaction of human society and the environment. You’ll also take part in exciting national and international fieldwork trips to places such as Devon, the Lake District and Spain. With lots of flexibility in module choice, you’ll take part in group projects, developing specialist analysis skills, mastering geographical software, and working with real-world organisations. You’ll develop highly valued transferable skills, from critical thinking, data analysis, fieldwork and spatial visualisation, to writing policy briefs and developing real-world applications of social theories of change. In classrooms, on field courses, and in meetings with external companies, you'll develop a broad understanding of geographical issues, theories and how to apply them. In year one, you'll learn about the most pressing geographical, environmental and sustainability problems, whilst in years two and three, you'll choose from a range of specialisms including environment, energy and society political and economic geography and cultural and historical geography. Most importantly, you’ll graduate with the skills to make a difference. The ability to work across the social, human and physical sciences is in high demand in both private and public sector graduate jobs, where you'll be able to provide real world solutions to today’s challenges.
