University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Our world is always changing – now more than ever. On our dynamic MSci Human Geography degree with a Year Abroad, you’ll focus on the human impact of these changes, from migration and urbanisation to climate change and energy security. Here at UEA, you’ll learn from world-leading researchers, and take part in exciting field trips that in the past have included places like Devon, the Lake District, Spain and Kenya.
On this course, you’ll also spend 9 to 12 months studying abroad at one of our hand-picked partner institutions in North America, Australasia, or Europe. You’ll develop specialist analysis skills and master geographical information systems software. You’ll work with real-world experts and organisations and most importantly, you’ll graduate with the skills to make a difference.
With lots of flexibility in module choice, you can tailor your degree to suit your interests, exploring some of humanity’s most pressing problems, from climate change to biodiversity loss; from urbanisation to influencing public policy. You can choose your own degree focus, with specialisms including the environment, energy and society; political and economic geography; and cultural and historical geography.
