Geography with Impact
BSc Geography at Winchester is well placed to understand some of the most pressing issues facing the planet in the twenty-first century. These include globalisation, world population growth, resource shortages, geopolitical instability and climate change. It offers a dynamic synthesis of the social and natural sciences and a broad perspective in both space and time.
The course offers an integrated human and physical geography perspective on a range of major global issues.
Students in the first year receive a broad introduction to geography and geographical issues today. In the second year, students are encouraged to develop their geographical practice through specialised modules including fieldwork, laboratory and technology-based elements. By the third year Winchester geographers are ready to apply their expertise to understand complex geographical problems through original research and to promote the external impacts of their work.
The degree recognises the value of geography to society and emphasises the importance of communicating this. Throughout the course students learn how to get their message across in a variety of ways and become effective communicators, addressing diverse audiences such as companies, organisations and communities. This combination of subject knowledge, external impact and communication produces rounded, confident geographers ready to enter a variety of growing areas of employment.
