In the Department of Geography and Environment (G&E) we believe education is about developing your knowledge, skills, expertise and confidence to change the world. We take pride in providing future-focused undergraduate and postgraduate degrees that are oriented towards understanding and addressing the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges, from the unequal impacts of the climate crisis to the ways in which poverty increases vulnerability to natural hazards.
Our planet faces significant pressures globally (such as the climate emergency, conflict, and competition for finite resources), and locally (such as the impacts of flooding, political disengagement, and social inequality). Our degrees provide you with the knowledge and skills to enable you to make a difference to the social and environmental issues and injustices that matter to you, both in your career and in your community.
