BSc (Hons) Geography
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
From climate change to health inequalities, and from food security to natural hazards and disasters, geography is at the heart of many of humanity's greatest challenges. At Lincoln, we believe that meeting these challenges requires a focus on the unity of geography to understand the links between humanity and the environments we inhabit - a theme that runs through our teaching and research. BSc (Hons) Geography explores environmental change and sustainability from local to global scales.
We encourage students to develop the analytical, critical, and collaborative skills needed to work across broad interdisciplinary issues. We focus on the unity of geography emphasising the links between human and physical geography as an integrative subject. Physical geography provides the intellectual tools necessary to understand the relationship between human society and its environment, and the issues that challenge our future.
This course is designed to deepen students' understanding and appreciation of geography. Students can develop a cutting-edge skill set by using the latest geographical technologies to tackle real-world problems and by applying their learning to contemporary global challenges. A belief in the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge to address major issues is at the heart of our approach.
