BSc (Hons) Human Geography
Drawing upon our internationally recognised research expertise in economic, social, political and cultural geography, our Human Geography course has been designed to let you understand the causes and potential solutions to some of the biggest challenges the world faces today. We’ll introduce you to theories and approaches to understand the relationship between society and space and help you make sense of geographical processes.
From past events to future developments and from local changes to global trends, you’ll build up a wide-ranging understanding of how our society interacts with our environment.
Study Human Geography at Manchester Met and you’ll get to grips with qualitative research techniques, not only learning the theories but also putting them into action – both in the city of Manchester and overseas. With a flexible range of units on offer, you can follow specialist pathways through to your final year. And, if you take the four-year route for this programme, you can spend a year either working on a placement or studying overseas before returning for your final year.
Our geography degree programmes are designed and delivered by research-active staff with strong links to research institutions, national organisations and non-governmental bodies in the UK and overseas.
We have shaped this degree around potential career pathways for our graduate Geographers, helping you to develop the geographical skills and knowledge that are highly desirable to employers.
What is the length of the course?
- 3 years full-time
- 4 years with placement year
- 4 years study abroad
