Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Human Geography and International Relations (HG27)

Human Geography involves the study of the interrelationships between people, place, and environment, and how these vary spatially and temporally across and between locations shaping the lives and activities of people, and their interactions with places and nature. It covers many different perspectives and brings them together to create a distinctive way of understanding the world. Human Geography is more allied with the social sciences and humanities, sharing their philosophical approaches and methods.

This degree investigates human-environment relationships offering students the chance to develop an integrated, enriched understanding of what is taking place on the planet particularly through, for example, the lens of tourism, exploring urban environments, small island settings or applied aspects of natural hazard management. In addition to specializing in human geographical dimensions, students will look at a wide range of different geographical topics and learn a broad range of skills. The overarching aim of this Human Geography degree is to provide students with opportunities to contribute to an environmentally sustainable and socially conscious future.

In a world where nuclear weapons remain primed for use, the world economy teeters on the brink of collapse and delicate ecosystems are under threat, it is little wonder that this International Relations degree is proving a popular choice among students who wish to better understand the world’s most challenging problems.

International Relations is a multidisciplinary subject, which draws in contributions from politics, history, media, sociology, law, economics and religion. Global issues dominate the news headlines on a daily basis and International Relations will allow students to focus on this dimension of politics. This is an opportunity to become an expert in international issues in a historical, political and cultural context.
