Geography at Oxford is a three-year BA that bridges the physical and human sciences in a way few other departments achieve. The course allows students to study both physical geography (climate, geomorphology, ecosystems) and human geography (urbanisation, development, political geography, economic geography) through Oxford's tutorial system, combining lectures, fieldwork, and intensive one-to-one teaching.
Oxford's School of Geography and the Environment is one of the leading geography departments globally, with research strengths in climate change, migration, urban studies, and environmental science. Students benefit from world-class fieldwork opportunities and a research-active teaching staff.
