The Geography BSc provides insights into the links between the physical, human and environmental processes on planet Earth and explores the major issues facing society in the 21st century, such as climate change; water, food and energy security; land degradation; and migration and economic changes. Geography is about how people relate to, and interact with, the spaces, places, landscapes and environments in which they live, and how those places engage with the larger world.
Geographers at UCC develop a wide range of technical, computing, laboratory, field and desktop skills which equip them to do a range of different jobs. Geography at UCC provides you with a broad understanding of the human, environmental and natural issues facing society with a focus on real-world questions. The BSc in Geography is primarily taught by staff from the School of Geography and Archaeology, with inputs from staff from other schools in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science, particularly in the discipline of geology.
