Bachelor of Arts - Geography (L700)

Geography is the integrated study of landscapes, peoples, places and environments and is, therefore, a vital subject through which to increase understanding of our rapidly changing planet. Through the interlinked strands of human and physical geography, the discipline bridges the social sciences and natural sciences.

Loughborough's BA degree provides a broad foundation of human and physical geography in Year 1 and then allows students to increasingly specialise in human geography, or maintain a balance of human and physical geography, in subsequent years. When it comes to designing their degree, undergraduates benefit directly from staff research expertise through the modular choices available. The department's academic staff are driving forward intellectual agendas in physical and human geography, as well as helping to shape national and international policy. This expertise ensures that the knowledge students are getting throughout their degree programme is at the cutting-edge of scientific research and focused on some of the most important issues in society today.
