Program Description

Geography at UL consists of modules in both human and physical geography. In your first year you will begin by exploring the key concepts and processes in geography before progressing to more advanced study of earth science and society, natural hazards, environmental issues, sustainability, population, development, cultural and historical geography, and methods for practicing geographical research. The modules are taught through a mix of lectures, tutorials, labs and fieldwork each of which will help you to develop the skills necessary to think critically about how and why our physical world shapes human interactions, and vice versa. In your second and third years you will also have the opportunity to work outside of UL on the co-operative education placement programme and study geography abroad at one of our partner institutions. In your final year, you will have the freedom to devise and carry out your own piece of research, either as an individual or in a small group, on a variety of specialist topics.
