About Geography BA (hons) in University of Salford

Accredited by the Royal Geographical Society, our BA (Hons) Geography course will enable you to explore the relationship between people and their environment.

There is no better place to study human geography. Situated at the heart of Greater Manchester, you'll see firsthand the effects of post-industrial decline and regeneration in the world’s first industrial city. During your studies, you'll examine relationships between the global economy, society and environment in the developed and developing world, exploring themes of development and sustainability of cities into the 21st century.

Fieldwork is at the core of this course.  We've aligned trips with the specialist modules so you can develop applied skills and gain practical experience. Typical destinations could include the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Sheffield and Liverpool. You'll also participate in residential field courses across the UK and other international locations, such as our recent visit to Scandinavia.

As you explore the physical and urban world, you'll experience small group teaching and support from our friendly and accessible staff. In the 2019 NSS survey, the course received 100% overall satisfaction, making it the highest-ranked University for Geography in the North West, and joint top nationally [based on University of Salford analysis of unpublished NSS 2019 data].
