Students can study either for a BA or BSc in Geography. Both courses provide a sound understanding of how social and physical processes affect our rapidly changing planet, before allowing you to specialise in human geography (BA) or physical geography (BSc). It is still possible to maintain a balance of human and physical geography; both the BA and BSc allow you to do this.
