Course summary

Overview

Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Geography and History whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and become autonomous, effective and independent learners.

Geography is the study of space, place, society and environment and the ways in which they interconnect. It encourages holistic thinking across social and natural sciences, arts and humanities. History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and to explore how societies develop.

Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.

Learning and assessment

In Year 1, you’ll acquire skills like river surveying, geomorphological mapping, and interviewing. You’ll learn about sustainability and sustainable development. You’ll develop core historical skills while studying topics ranging from the beginnings of Europe’s colonisation of the rest of the world to more recent debates on race and the environment.

In Year 2, you’ll examine global challenges like environmental hazards and disasters. Further options include environmental change, geopolitics, the carbon cycle, or heritage management. You’ll explore more specialist historical issues, like what the Jack the Ripper case tells us about the Victorians, or how thinkers like Charles Darwin have influenced our culture.

In Year 3, you can focus on what you care about most, including your dissertation topic. You might examine changing oceans and marine pollution, or desertification and deforestation. Or, you might explore the future of urban life, or our cultural relationship to nature. You might study life in Renaissance Italy, or the fall of the Russian monarchy.
