Our planet is constantly evolving and reshaping itself. We need to understand the science behind physical processes and hazards like flooding and coastal erosion so we can adapt and find solutions to the challenges we’ll face in the future.
On our Physical Geography course, you will explore how the Earth functions and learn about global hazards, such as volcanoes and landslides, and investigate how landscapes evolve over time. You will study physical processes from across the world, from glacial processes to desertification. You will also develop skills in mapping and research and gain experience using industry-standard equipment and software.
Students on this course are usually interested in the physical world around us and want to use their knowledge and understanding to make a positive difference. Graduates leave with the skills to solve a range of complex real-world problems related to the physical environment and with experience of hands-on fieldwork and cutting-edge research with world-leading scientists.
We make the most of our location and take regular day trips along the coast and to the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. There will also be opportunities to go on overseas field trips, in the past we have taken geography students to Switzerland.
