Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Geography

Geography is the study of the diverse physical features of the Earth’s surface and the complex network of human interactions between the world’s physical, social, and cultural systems. Geographers can play a major role in tackling the global challenges that face the world.

Students explore natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to address environmental, social and political issues, such as climate change, conservation, biodiversity, urban development, globalization, sustainability and migration.

Outside the classroom fieldwork, computer, and laboratory activities students apply their learning and develop practical skills. Teesside’s local environments present a fascinating landscape for students to explore, including the North York Moors, North Pennines, Tees Valley, and the socially and culturally diverse spaces of urban Middlesbrough. An international fieldtrip is an opportunity to translate theoretical knowledge and practical skills into a new environment.

Students learn in small teaching groups with other students across the geosciences cluster, giving them diverse and peer-supported learning in a dedicated geoscience teaching and research space on campus.
