Geography Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Geography at Cambridge is the study of some of the biggest challenges facing our planet, from climate emergencies to pandemics and urbanisation. 

Explore both human and physical geography. You will have the option to specialise in one of these areas from the second year or continue with both.

Geographers study some of the biggest challenges facing our planet, in both the human and physical environment. This course tackles a number of these, including: 

* food security 

* climate and biodiversity emergencies 

* pandemics 

* globalisation 

* social inequalities 

* urbanisation 

* volcanoes 

* melting ice sheets 

You do not have to choose whether to specialise in physical or human geography. If you want to, you can do both in all 3 years.

We also teach students a wide range of practical skills. These skills are relevant to geography, as well as being useful in other disciplines and career paths. 

Fieldwork is an important part of this course. It’s an enjoyable way to develop your research skills. You will go on: 

* one-day excursions each year, depending on your choice of papers 

* compulsory field classes of 5 to 8 days in the second year, in September or during the Easter vacation
