Human Geography BA (Hons)

From understanding how landscapes are shaped, to how populations move and interact, to the impact climate change has on us, the study of geography has never been more relevant. <br/><br/>**Why Swansea?**<br/><br/>If your interest lies especially in human geography, this scheme is an excellent choice; if you have a more general interest in geography, you may prefer our BA or BSc in Geography schemes.

Youll also have an opportunity to carry out fieldwork overseas in Berlin, New York or Vancouver. <br/>Through this degree, you will explore topical issues including the processes that shape the global economy, mobility and migration, creative geographies and political geography.<br/><br/>This degree is also offered as a four-year course, with a year in industry (L987).<br/>I loved my degree. I was always fascinated in the wonders of the World and what made it tick. Geography helps you look at the World with an analytical eye. It forces you to weigh up evidence and come to conclusions and question the origin of things. Journalism is exactly the same.<br/>- Melanie Bromley, BA (Hons) Geography, West Coast bureau chief of American Celebrity Magazine US Weekly <br/><br/>**We guarantee that you will be made a conditional offer for a course at Swansea University.
