Geography with AI Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Explore the forces that shape our planet and harness the power of technology to understand them, with our BSc (Hons) Geography with AI degree.

This innovative course combines the study of physical and human geography alongside artificial intelligence applications, preparing you to tackle future-focused challenges surrounding areas such as climate change, urban development, and environmental sustainability. 

You’ll build a strong foundation in geographical thinking, data analysis, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), while also learning how to design, test, and apply AI systems. From coding fundamentals to machine learning and predictive modelling, you’ll see how artificial intelligence can transform the way we collect, analyse, and interpret geographical data.

Your learning here goes beyond the classroom - Manchester offers a vibrant “city laboratory” for local fieldwork, supported by day trips across the North West and overseas field courses. With the option to study abroad or complete a placement year, you’ll graduate prepared to help shape a more sustainable and resilient future.
