Overview

Real-world learning is at the heart of the Geography with a Placement Year (Hons) programme offered by the University of East Anglia . In classrooms, on field courses, and in meetings with external companies, you'll develop a broad understanding of geographical issues, theories and how to apply them. In year one, you'll learn about the most pressing geographical, environmental and sustainability problems, whilst in years two and four, you'll choose from a wide range of specialisms including environment, energy and society; political and economic geography; and cultural and historical geography. You’ll enhance your studies and employability by spending year three on an industrial work placement, giving you hands-on experience.

With lots of flexibility in module choice, you’ll take part in group projects, developing specialist skills, and working with real-world organisations. You’ll develop highly valued transferable skills, from critical thinking, data analysis, fieldwork and spatial visualisation, to writing policy briefs and developing real-world applications of social theories of change.
