BSc (Hons) Geography

This programme provides an indepth study of the relationships between the physical, human and environmental processes on our planet.

You will undertake a range of field studies each year in different geographical locations, allowing you to gain the practical skills required of scientific geographers in the workplace. There is a large element of practical work which reinforces teaching and reading.

The research project will encourage you to develop and test your ideas and gain independence in thinking and reaching conclusions based on data you collect. 

You will have an element of choice in the modules you take, as well as the topic of your literature review and final research project

Placement or Study Abroad Information

A work experience module is available to Year 4 students, enabling them to spend 6-10 weeks in a structured working environment. Several successful partnerships have been developed in this way, resulting in students having access to data and knowledge for their final year project, and so enabling them to undertake novel and innovative research that directly supports the work of a commercial or government enterprise.

Students have the option of spending all or part of the third year at one of UCC's partner universities in Europe under the ERASMUS scheme, or in North America.
