Geography (3 Years) [BA]
Student Opinions
"It's great that there is so much choice here and all the staff are friendly and approachable." (Lindsay Harper, 2008-09)
"During all stages of my degree, I have had the opportunity to attend field trips, ranging from trips to Chester Zoo to visits to the Peak District. However, my overseas fieldwork in my second year was my favourite field trip. I had a great time in Crete, and this was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable aspects of my time at Manchester." (David Gaunt, 2009-10)

Course description
We offer both this BA and a BSc in Geography. The entry requirements, curriculum and career opportunities associated with each are the same, and you should decide which course to apply for on the basis of your A-level background, your interests within geography and your future plans. All students take courses in the three main subject areas of Human Geography, People and Environment and Physical Geography. There is increasing flexibility as you progress through the three-year programmes, with optional course units covering a wide range of interests and issues in geography, including economic, cultural, political, medical, urban, and historical geography, globalisation, ecology, hydrology, palaeoenvironments, geoarchaeology, glaciology, climatology, geomorphology, remote sensing and geographical information systems. By the end of the programme you will be able to carry out a piece of independent research and will have developed the skills required to embark on a professional career or to begin postgraduate research and study.
