About Environmental Geography, BSc - at Cardiff University

Environmental geographers use their scientific understanding of the natural and physical environment to find solutions to crucial environmental issues.

Industry connections

Our links with alumni, environmental regulators and local organisations provide plenty of opportunities for you to complete projects and summer placements.

Fieldwork opportunities

We take regular field trips in the UK and overseas to help you develop strong fieldwork skills. The cost of compulsory field trips is included in the course fees.

High-quality facilities

You will have access to the latest in surveying and mapping equipment, labs, computing facilities, and our coastal research vessel.

Flexible course

In most cases, you may request a transfer to the MSci degree programme or switch to another course in the same School at the end of the first year.

Our scientific understanding of the natural and physical environment is key to addressing issues like climate change, pollution, and land degradation.

On our Environmental Geography course, you will study how the Earth functions and the science behind the human impact on the planet over time. You will look at environments across the world, from the extreme poles to tropical coral reefs, exploring both the pressures they face today and in the future. You will use the latest technologies and develop skills in geographical mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving.

We make the most of our location and take regular day trips to Gower, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. There will also be opportunities to do overseas trips, in the past we've been to the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Students on this course are usually concerned about the health of the planet and want to make a positive difference. They graduate with the skills needed to solve a range of complex environmental problems and with experience in hands-on fieldwork and cutting-edge research.
