Conduct an in-depth analysis of patterns and processes in the natural environment and learn how to tackle contemporary global issues such as climate change, environmental pollution and rising sea levels.
On our four-year physical geography course with an integrated masters, you'll develop your understanding of these changes in the context of the diverse, intricate interactions between Earth-system components.
Integral to your degree is field-based learning, independent research and technical training. We use the space around us as our living laboratory: you'll spend time learning in Sheffield and exploring the nearby Peak District National Park during field classes. You'll learn how to use geospatial techniques such as computer programming and satellite observations, and how to use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to observe and monitor the Earth.
The first three years follow the same structure as our BSc Geography . In your fourth year, you will carry out your own advanced research project as part of an active research group. You will benefit from the expertise of a network of academics and have the chance to develop your professional and research skills.
Gain the specialist, practical and transferable skills you'll need for your future career on our MGeogSci. Typically our physical geography graduates progress to careers in research, sustainability, meteorology, environmental consultancy, GIS analysis, business, policy and government.
