Geography

The Loughborough University Undergraduate Geography BA Honours degree provides a broad foundation of human and physical geography in Year 1 and then allows you to specialise. Explore the social and physical processes shaping our rapidly changing planet. 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. Our BA degree provides a broad foundation of human and physical geography in Year 1 and then allows you to increasingly specialise in human geography, or maintain a balance of human and physical geography, in subsequent years. When it comes to designing your degree, undergraduates benefit directly from staff research expertise through the modular choices available.

Our 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 you are getting throughout your degree programme is at the cutting-edge of scientific research and focused on some of the most important issues in society today.
