Geography/Mathematics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Geography is the study of the surface of the Earth as the site of human living and working. It considers the variability in physical and human landscapes, along with the interrelationships binding them together. It is a dynamic, relevant and ever-changing subject at the heart of many local and global current issues, ranging widely from river/coastal management and conservation to migration, development and urban geography. Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships.
