Geography with Professional Placement The University of Manchester

Overview

Course description

The Geography with Professional Placement programme allows you to study the natural processes of the Earth and examine human impact on the global environment - exploring a wide range of topics such as environmental pollution, ecology and environmental restoration, glacial and fluvial dynamics, long-term landscape evolution and climate change.

You will also broaden your horizons and enhance your employability by spending a year in a professional placement.

Here at The University of Manchester, we've been teaching Geography for more than 125 years - after all, where better to study the subject than this rapidly changing metropolis, with its surrounding national parks and stretching coastlines?

The field is our classroom - you will have the opportunity to engage in field-based learning around Manchester and in destinations such as Greece, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Brazil and the Czech Republic.

The wide range of teaching and research interests of our academics - who have an impressive international research reputation - will make it easy for you to be flexible about what, and how, you learn.

This allows you the maximum choice to tailor your studies to suit your interests.

Not sure if you're a human or physical geographer just yet? Don't worry - our course allows you to study both human and physical geography in your first year, before specialising to study for a BA or a BSc later in your course.
