BA (Hons) Geography
University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Delve into an exploration of the dynamic and ever-changing world we live in – from migration and urbanisation to climate change and energy security. Our BA Geography degree focuses on the human impact of our changing world, exploring questions such as: How do we respond effectively to climate change? How should we manage our dwindling resources?
How might we deal with population growth in cities? And what are the challenges of more sustainable lifestyles? At UEA, you’ll study some of the most pressing problems facing the planet, including climate change, resource management, urban change, health, migration and poverty.
Your studies will span both human and physical geography, but with an emphasis on human geography. You’ll learn from world-leading researchers, exploring the interaction of human society and the environment. You’ll also take part in exciting national and international fieldwork trips – in the past these have included places such as Devon, the Lake District, Spain and Kenya.
