Department of Environment and Geography - Human Geography
Welcome to Human Geography
Human Geography provides an important bridge between the social and environmental sciences.
Two common themes for both teaching and research within Human Geography are:
- understanding similarities and differences between places, localities and areas in a range of social, cultural, economic and political aspects of human life.
- understanding interactions between people and their environments.
Please take the time to explore our site as it offers many diverse and interesting courses and opportunities for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
