If you want to explore how our Earth system operates and its underlying mathematical principles, our combined course is for you.<br/><br/>Throughout this degree, you’ll look into the processes that shape our worlds dramatic landscapes and the dynamics of the atmosphere and biosphere, and how you can have a say in how we manage our future environment. Youll also develop an appreciation of how processes at work on the Earths surface can be described mathematically and represented in simulation models. For those who wish to, there is flexibility within the course structure to choose modules in human geography as well as in subjects across the University, allowing you to customise your learning to match your interests.<br/><br/>This course offers all of the benefits of being a BSc Geography graduate alongside being equipped with quantitative skills that employers within environmental industries tell us they need. Graduates from this course will be able to simulate environmental processes, understand how these processes have changed in the past, and how they are likely to evolve into the future.<br/><br/>You’ll develop both specialist and transferable skills. You’ll build skills in presenting your ideas in reports and orally, in data collection, in data analysis, and in the mathematical understanding and simulation of environmental processes.<br/><br/>**Why study at Leeds:**<br/>- Our globally-renowned research here at Leeds has had a pioneering impact on current global agendas in environmental protection, public health and the economy and feeds directly into your course, shaping what you learn with the latest thinking.<br/><br/><br/>- Experience expert teaching delivered by a School that has taught geography for over 100 years and is made up of academics and researchers who specialise in a variety of geography disciplines.<br/><br/><br/>- Access excellent teaching facilities, including specialist labs and a dedicated field store fully equipped with research-grade equipment to support your learning and practical fieldwork.<br/><br/><br/>- Put theory into practice with our fieldwork activities, where you’ll experience ‘real world’ learning that will advance your research, project planning and teamwork skills whilst gaining hands-on experience highly valued by employers in industry.<br/><br/><br/>- Enhance your career prospects and give your CV that competitive edge before you graduate by undertaking a work placement.
