Why Study Geography and International Relations?
- Aberdeen is the perfect place to study Geography. The department ranks highly in student satisfaction surveys and the region's spectacular coastal and mountain areas provide perfect field sites for the study of geography. In the Geography and International Relations programme of the University of Aberdeen we have recently introduced a new Geography curriculum designed to provide students with key skills and knowledge required by employers.
- Many courses in physical geography, including specialist Honours options, draw directly on the staff's own research into hydrology, glaciology, contemporary environmental issues and urban-rural change, and many courses in human geography draw directly on the staff’s own research into transport, digital technologies, contemporary environmental issues and urban-rural change.
- International Relations draws on understanding of politics and how this influences our world and the way in which we interact with moral dilemma and state relationships.
