Summary
Human geography is a dynamic discipline that has a profound influence on current debates in the social sciences and humanities. Human geographers focus on the relationships between space and society, particularly the interconnection between environment, place and identity; knowledge; globalisation processes; social justice; and a variety of other vital themes relevant to the contemporary world.
This programme provides you with a rigorous grounding in social theory and mainstream debates and techniques in human geography. It also offers a thorough training in qualitative and quantitative methods. Options allow for the development of specialisms in historical-cultural themes, postcolonial and decolonial geographies, spatial modelling, and debates surrounding environmental conflict and science and technology.
You will join a School ranked first in the UK for 'Geography and environmental studies' research (THE analysis of REF 2021). This programme is closely linked to the University's Cabot Institute, which brings together multidisciplinary research into all aspects of global environmental change.
