Geography and the Environment
Explore the relationship between people and place and discover how the world around you works.
Why study Geography and the Environment?
We’re fascinated by our natural and built environments: how and why they vary and how they coexist with our social world. If you are too, you’ve found a home for your passion. We’ll help you develop the skills to investigate the world around us, tackle climate change with sustainable environmental practice and understand how global urbanisation affects the human experience.
All of our degrees are designed and delivered by research-active staff with strong links across the globe. For our graduates, that means a degree that offers real-world experience and understanding that lays the foundations for a wide range of careers. Watch our video to hear from Dr Jane Boygle on what our second-year students learn during their field trip to Malta.
Why Manchester Met?
On a field trip to Malta, I worked alongside three of my peers and a tutor to analyse river valleys. I enjoyed how we were able to use each other's skills on a specific project.
