About the programme

UCAS Code: BA Combined Honours (Y001)

If you've ever wondered about:

  • changes in the environment
  • what an organisation like the World Bank does
  • the spatial pattern of disease

then you've been thinking about topics in geography. The breadth and flexibility of geography make it an ideal subject to study.

You'll have the opportunity to select modules to shape the type of geography you'd like to study - from human to physical geography.
