The world is more interconnected than ever before, driving urgent global challenges such as food insecurity, conflict, social justice and the environmental crisis. Now, more than ever, there’s a need for geographers with a truly global perspective. Our BA in Geography and Global Development with a Year Abroad prepares you to think globally and work towards a just and sustainable future.

You’ll study critical contemporary issues from a geographical perspective – including poverty, race, gender, health, migration, the environment, artificial intelligence and cities – with a focus on the relationship between people, place, and transformative social justice.  You’ll gain key practical skills, including the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), cross-cultural communication, policy analysis, problem-solving, and fieldwork skills. You can also develop your understanding of specific regions of the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. 

Local fieldwork is a vital part of all core modules, complemented by exciting residential field trips in Europe and the UK. In your third year you’ll have the rewarding opportunity to learn at one of our many partner universities around the world, studying modules that complement your studies at UEA.
