You'll take core modules focusing on areas such as sustainability, natural resources, earth processes and the impact of people on places, while building your practical skills through field work.
You'll also have the opportunity to build specialised knowledge in areas such as geographical information systems (GIS), river management, mitigating climate change and sustainable cities among others.
