Human geography covers everything from climate change, globalisation and international labour markets to local and national issues of social deprivation and water pollution. On this course you will work with world leading academics. Current projects involve neighbourhood regeneration, resilience and sustainability, food and consumerism in the media and responses to epidemics in third world countries. In your final year you will be able to specialise in areas that you find interesting and important. You will have the opportunity to work with greatly respected academics from other departments on real research projects. You will benefit from the links that members of staff have with industry and with external organisations such as NGOs, local authorities, and government departments. Most recently, a final year student undertook field work for her dissertation at the Environmental Studies Centre in Cyprus, benefiting from the expertise and facilities available in a challenging and exciting environment overseas. You will gain the transferable skills for careers in renewable energy, wildlife conservation, development studies, urban and transport planning, biodiversity, and climatology. Recent graduates have gone on to work in environmental consultancies, hazards and insurance, real estate and property, and international development. They have become flood risk analysts, commercial managers, GIS analysts, portfolio managers, campaign executives, social researchers, nature conservation officers, web designers, human resources officers and quantity surveyors.
