Embark on the BA (Hons) Geography with Global Development with a Year Abroad at the University of East Anglia, a programme designed for students passionate about understanding and addressing the complex challenges of global inequality, sustainability, and social justice. You will explore critical contemporary issues such as poverty, migration, and urbanisation through a geographical lens, examining the intricate relationships between people, place, and power. This interdisciplinary degree fuses geographical insights with development studies, preparing you to analyse and contribute to a more equitable world.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is structured over four years, including a dedicated global development year abroad, allowing you to immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic context. You will develop essential research skills, including qualitative and quantitative methods, and gain practical experience through a compulsory development work placement. Your studies will culminate in a dissertation, where you will independently research a topic of your choice. Upon graduation, you will be equipped with a unique blend of geographical expertise and development knowledge, opening pathways to careers in international NGOs, policy analysis, humanitarian aid, and global corporations.
