Geography Bsc (hons) in University of Dundee

In Geography you study the relationships between dynamic environments and population in different locations and at multiple scales. You will learn about major challenges facing the world, and develop creative skills in problem solving, presentation, and communication.

Our flexible course allows you to specialise in Human Geography or Physical Geography, or to combine elements of both.

Our teaching is based on the research carried out in the department and is focused on three broad themes: creating just communities and places, shaping environmental futures, and geospatial and digital methods.

BSc Geography will cover specialisms within these themes including:

• glacial and hydrological landscapes and processes
• biogeography and reconstructing past environments
• natural hazards and risk and in the application of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and remote sensing

You will investigate issues in our changing world, including climate change, sustainability, land degradation and patterns of inequality. Throughout your degree there will be an emphasis on gaining practical skills and an emphasis on ‘doing’ geography.

Laboratories, field equipment, and specialist software like GIS (Geographic Information Systems) will support your learning.

The student-led Geography and Environmental Society also has a programme of activities to help you become part of our community. 

Career

Studies by the Royal Geographical Society show that Geography degrees are an excellent basis for developing the wider graduate skills and attributes that many employers value: problem solving, IT and communication, analysis, and working with partners. Our students are also successful in securing places and funding for advanced postgraduate degrees.

Equally, many of our graduates build careers in areas that draw directly on the specialist geographical knowledge and skills they develop through their degree. Areas of employment include:

• environmental consultancies
• survey and mapping
• risk analysis
• land and water management
• local and central government
• the geospatial industry, using GIS or satellite remote sensing
