What is Geography?

Geography is concerned with addressing the most pressing challenges we face in the 21st century. From the climate emergency to unrelenting urbanisation, and from the persistent health crisis to housing shortages, you’ll explore how global challenges manifest locally and learn how they can be challenged through place-based action. Geography is interdisciplinary at the core, and you’ll become an expert in addressing challenges from multiple perspectives.

You’ll explore questions such as: What does a more just and sustainable energy future look like? What are the best strategies for achieving Net Zero? How can we address the housing crisis? How can we tackle the climate and biodiversity crises? What forms or social organising and action can advance more just environmental futures?

Whether you’re interested sustainable energy transitions or local democracy, the Anthropocene or sustainable housing, our degree provides a fundamental understanding of how humans interact with their environments, giving you the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to address the world’s social and environmental challenges.
