Geography, BA (Hons)

Geography, BA (Hons) is a Bachelor program taught at University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

Geography at Cambridge is the study of major challenges facing the planet, including climate emergencies to pandemics and urbanisation. Students explore both human and physical geography and can specialise from the second year or continue with both. The course covers themes such as food security, climate and biodiversity emergencies, globalisation, social inequalities, volcanoes, and melting ice sheets.

Teaching uses lectures, practicals, laboratory work, field classes, and small-group supervisions. Students usually have 6 to 8 lectures each week plus reading, and around 3 supervisions every 2 weeks.

Fieldwork is a core part of the course: one-day excursions each year, compulsory field classes of 5 to 8 days in the second year, and additional day field classes in Years 2 and 3.

Assessment includes coursework and written exams at the end of each year, plus a 10,000-word dissertation in Year 3.
