Geography

UK University

Overview

Geography is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Human Geography is assessed mainly through extended written work rather than examinations.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
