The Geography (including placement year) BA/BSc (Hons) at the University of Chester is designed for students eager to understand and address complex global issues such as climate change, social inequality, and resource management. You will explore contemporary challenges of sustainable development and engage in extensive fieldwork, building a strong foundation in both human and physical geography. This undergraduate degree offers a dynamic learning environment where you will develop critical geographical knowledge and analytical skills to interpret diverse environments and societal dynamics.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this course integrates core modules with opportunities to specialise in human or physical geography, or combine both. You will experience increasingly complex learning that applies geographical knowledge to various contexts, culminating in a substantial independent project at Level 6. This project will involve practical research skills, fieldwork, and an emphasis on professional ethics and risk management, alongside extending your geospatial data science capabilities. You will graduate with the expertise to pursue careers in environmental management, urban planning, international development, and policy-making.
