Description
Our Geography and Planning BA programme at the University of Liverpool draws equally from both disciplines, with flexibility to include optional sociology modules, providing an interdisciplinary and varied degree programme.
The course equips you with knowledge of modern society's challenges, interpretation of diverse phenomena, and understanding of conceptual and philosophical arguments related to human interactions with the environment. You will develop oral, written, and visual communication skills, engage in group-based problem-solving, and gain transferable workplace skills.
Residential field classes are an integral part of the modules available in each study year. The programme was designed as part of a suite of related programmes, allowing students to transfer between Planning and Geography BA (Hons) courses in the first two years of study based on their interests or career aspirations.
Fieldwork opportunities range from inner-city to coastal and mountainous environments. The course offers a supportive environment for disabled students, with reasonable adjustments considered for accessibility.
Career Opportunities:
Graduates of the Geography and Planning programme can pursue careers in urban planning, environmental consultancy, geographic information systems (GIS) analysis, sustainability roles, and more.
