• The Geography BA and BSc share core elements at the start, providing students with a strong geographical foundation on which to build. In year one students take five compulsory modules - two on Thinking Geographically and two on Geography in the Field, plus Understanding the Planet. 
  • In year two, one or two compulsory modules are supplemented by six or seven optional modules selected from a substantial pool, including field classes.  At this point, it is possible to begin focusing on topics such as environmental and conservation management, remote sensing, geomorphology and climate change. Students may take one module outside the Department.
  • Students dissertation is the main focus of year three, working with an academic supervisor to develop an original piece of research on a topic of the students choice. In addition, students take further optional modules, including one from outside Geography if they like. Students may also participate in a term-long exchange programme with universities outside the UK, which replaces that term's UCL modules.
  • Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Geography.
