This course combines physical and human geography as well as offering opportunities for specialization, including a Quantitative Methods pathway. Those choosing the BSc will usually have studied social science or humanities subjects at A level or equivalent, but it is possible to transfer to the BA if your interests develop differently. You will gain a broad range of practical skills enabling you to work successfully in the public and private sectors in the UK and around the world. Your timetable will include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes and fieldwork. As you progress, the focus shifts to independent and critical learning, with student-led discussions and presentations becoming more important. Having been trained in both sciences and humanities, UCL geographers are skilled in taking different perspectives on an issue, working independently to complete a project and adapting to changing circumstances. Geographers embark on many diverse careers: from teaching and research to commerce, planning and administration. Their expertise is valuable for environmental and physical planning, surveying and employment in government, industry and the financial sector.
