Geography - University of Brighton

Our accredited Geography BA(Hons) course focuses on human and environmental geography, with a strong emphasis on employability, skills development and practical learning. During the course you will examine crucial contemporary geographical issues including social justice and change, global development, sustainability and society-nature relations. You can tailor the course to your own interests and career aspirations through options covering topics in social, cultural, political and environmental geography. Some elements of physical geography featured on our BSc(Hons) programme can be incorporated to give you a broad foundation in the subject. Trips to locations such as Greece and North Africa help you develop your field skills, while the opportunity of a placement year allows you to build essential work experience and a network of professional contacts. If you achieve the required standard in year 2, you can choose to progress directly to the third year of the Geography MGeog and study towards a masters-level qualification. This programme has been accredited by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
