Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Geography - Human and Physical (F841)

Explore the natural and human worlds – and the complex relationships between the two – with University of Reading's BSc Geography (Human and Physical) degree.

By combining the study of human and physical geographies, students can explore a hugely diverse range of topics. For example, they can examine:

• the differences and dynamics of political systems and cultures • sustainable development of urban spaces • the way the natural environment responds to – and recovers from – change.

This three-year course also offers students the chance to help address issues critical to the shared global future, including:

• climate change • natural disasters • social inequalities • poverty.

At Reading, the geography research feeds directly into the teaching, so students will study current topics of interest in the field. They’ll also work with internationally renowned academics, whose projects investigate topics like neighbourhood regeneration, resilience and sustainability, food and consumerism in the media, and responses to epidemics in developing countries. A key component of this degree is a year-long professional placement, which occurs between the second and final year. Placements can help enhance employability and build students' network.
