Overview

Geography/Social & Public Policy 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 includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone.

Tuition ranges from £27,720 to £33,210 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

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.
