Geography is the study of the Earth and the link between physical and human landscapes. It explores the inter-relationships between people, place and the environment and how these vary across and between places. Our BA Geography considers these links from a humanities and social science perspective, focusing on issues such land use, planning and development, globalisation, climate change, energy, and tourism, in order to examine human relationships with the environment. A degree in geography provides students with the knowledge and skills to understand many aspects of our rapidly changing world, equipping them to tackle real-world problems in a range of organisations and sectors, with the wide curriculum developing both specialist and transferable skills. Geography graduates are among the most employable, with skills developed in presenting ideas in reports and oral presentations, in data collection and analysis, and in the use of specialist mapping and statistical software. The knowledge and skills taught in this BA Geography degree are of relevance to many areas of employment, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management, tourism, rural and community development, agriculture, local government, planning, logistics, and environmental agencies. A significant number of geography graduates also move on to careers in finance, marketing and law, or to further postgraduate study, teaching and research. Delivered entirely online via a distance / blended learning approach and available to study from anywhere in the world, students will benefit from collaborative discussions and activities with colleagues from a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences, facilitated and supported by tutors with many years of experience in delivering online and distance education.
