“The general idea about Geography is all wrong. I am not merely a student of maps or the Earth's features; I am a critical investigator of the way the world works. Geography at Queen Mary includes everything from the causes of uneven development to the interconnected physical mechanisms that allow the planet to function.”
(Anika Bahra, BA: Global Change, 2009–2012)
Undergraduate degree programmes
The range of degrees in Geography and Environmental Science offered in the School reflects both the breadth of expertise within the School and the special requirements of particular courses of study.
The School offers a range of honours degree programmes. If you are interested in the whole field of Geography you may register for either a BA or a BSc in Geography. Alternatively, for those of you who wish to specialise immediately, there is a range of specialist single and joint honours degrees to choose from. Clearly, if you opt for one of these more specialised courses, the module options are reduced. The degree in Physical Geography in particular is a highly specialised programme that reflects the specific research interests of staff.
The School of Geography offers two specialised single honours degree programmes in Environmental Science; BSc Environmental Science and BSc Environmental Science with Business Management. We are also offering anew four-year MSci in Environmental Science from 2012.
All degree programmes are organised through the modular system that allow flexibility in choice of modules.
