Pack your bags and discover how human societies, cultures and behaviours are shaping the planet on our geography degree (BA). By specialising in human geography, you’ll explore the socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental issues facing today’s world.
Examine the reciprocal relationships between human societies, cultures, behaviours, and the environment on this Human Geography degree. Exciting UK and international fieldwork opportunities will broaden your geographical knowledge of the Earth’s human and physical environments, landscapes and processes.

Specialising in Human Geography will help you understand the societal and environmental challenges facing the world. You’ll complete theoretical and practical investigations, and learn about Earth’s changing human geography to better understand key global issues. You can also tailor your geography degree to your interests, with the opportunity to select subject-specific and complementary modules.
We’ll help you to prepare for life after Edge Hill. Take part in specialised careers and employability activities across your three years to help you discover what to do next.
