Your degree show gives you the chance to display your work to hundreds of visitors.

Our BSc Geography degree explores the natural environment and the key challenges we face in moving towards a more sustainable world.

This flexible degree is informed by the research of our world-leading academics and spans the breadth of the discipline. You don’t need to decide between human and physical geography and can tailor your degree to your interests. This enables you to become a specialist in your chosen field, or remain active across the Geographic terrain.

You can select from dozens of Geography modules. These range from Glacial Environments, and River Catchment Dynamics, to Geographies of Sustainable Production and Consumption, and Global Environmental Change.

Political and environmental influences are impacting the types and uses of plants in food production and eco-systems management. Limitations on the use of synthetic herbicides and growth pattern regulators are changing the management strategies available.

Graduates of this applied agri-biological degree will be well placed for a wide range of careers in this vital and developing sector; including plant genetics, bio-chemical research, and agronomy.

On this degree you can select options with a cellular and molecular emphasis underpinning fundamental understanding of plant physiology.

You may take optional modules dealing with a range of applied or associated topics to provide you with the knowledge and insights needed for example to manage crops;

• In agricultural systems
• Conservation grassland
• Woodlands, or
• To develop new approaches and products to control pests and diseases.

You will have the opportunity to take a year's work placement to develop your work based skills, usually taken in research or in the plant science sector.

The Foundations in Clinical Psychology master's degree offers world-class tuition and pastoral support. From this, you'll gain key knowledge and understanding.
