* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Geography is the study of the surface of the Earth as the site of human living and working. It considers the variability in physical and human landscapes, along with the interrelationships binding them together. Geography is a dynamic, relevant and ever-changing subject, at the heart of many local and global current issues, from river/coastal management and conservation to migration, development and urban geography.
Graduates from this programme have subsequently been employed by companies and organisations including BAE Systems, Transport Scotland, the Scottish Government and the Foreign Office.
