School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Study with us and be part of a vibrant community of staff and students making real-world impact by addressing past, current and future challenges in the fields of geography, earth sciences, environmental science and urban planning.

Understanding Global Environmental Change, how we address its causes, how we live with and respond to its impacts, and how we find sustainable solutions to our use of Earth’s resources, are some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Our programmes aim to prepare a new generation of environmentally aware students for graduate employment in a range of industries positioned to tackle these global grand challenges.
