Through exciting topics learners will understand the nature of physical and human geography whilst unpicking the debates surrounding contemporary challenges facing the world today. The course enables students to recognise and be able to analyse the complexity of people environment interactions at all geographical scales and appreciate how these underpin understanding of some of the key issues facing the world today. There is a strong emphasis on fieldwork as a tool to understand about the real world, and become skilled at planning, undertaking and evaluating fieldwork in appropriate situations. Geography is delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials, but students are also encouraged to be independent learners and may be asked to do additional research as well as prepare presentations, podcasts and a range of case study materials.
