Program Description

About the course

Understanding how the physical and ecological worlds interact; how people interact both with each other and with the physical and ecological world; and how landscapes (physical, ecological and human) evolve has never been more important than it is today to address the environmental challenges facing the world.This degree involves an interdisciplinary study of human and physical geography, biodiversity, ecology, aspects of environmental biology, and human/environment interactions. This is essential for understanding human impacts on the environment both living (ecological) and non-living components (geomorphological) and for addressing major environmental issues associated with biodiversity. By having knowledge and understanding of dynamic natural environmental processes and their interaction with human activity and technology enables informed management of environmental resources for a more sustainable future.An enthusiastic and friendly team of geographers and environmentalists with wide research interests teach on the Environmental Geography course at Hope. You will find that Liverpool is a great setting to study Environmental Geography due to having surroundings that include stunning upland and coastal landscapes.A Placement Year option is available for this course. Undertaking a placement year as part of your degree programme offers you the opportunity to gain valuable work experience alongside your studies.
