Are you curious about how social, cultural, economic and political processes are reflected in the world that surrounds you? Human Geography is all about understanding how such processes influence the places and spaces we live and work in, and the ways in which these environments, in turn, shape and transform society. The human geography concepts and techniques you will learn and apply at LSBU, on our Zone 1 London campus, will give you the skills to help to re-imagine and construct more socially just and sustainable futures.
