This popular course emphasises the relationship between society and its environment, both natural and human-constructed. Environmental values and ideologies are a central concern, as is the concept of sustainable development.
Fieldwork is an important element of the course.
Your first fieldwork trip will take place as early as the second week of the first term, when you will visit the Welsh Borders. Geography is always studied as a joint honours degree with another subject chosen from the Oxford Brookes Modular Programme. The combination with Physical Geography is popular - studied together, the two subjects constitute the equivalent of a single honours geography course. The Course Core modules introduce the themes of environmental problems and differing approaches to their causes and solutions. You will investigate the relationship between society and nature in a historical context, and consider some models of sustainable development.
