Bachelor of Science - Human Geography and Planning (Accredited) (LK75) (Sandwich Year)

专业介绍

Recognized by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) as a spatial qualification, this program combines the problem-solving approaches of planning with the topical insights of geography, equipping students with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to tackle the challenges affecting how and where they live.

The program fosters an understanding of the main geographical trends in the world today, along with the analytical skills needed to study spatial change. Students will examine the changing nature of spaces and places, the relationship between society and space, and the role of the state. Placing local and national issues in a global context, the program covers topics from environmental change in the UK, and economic and social change in Wales, to regional and international development.

Students will gain an understanding of global, national and local processes of change, key environmental, social, cultural, political and economic trends and the role that planning plays in shaping their effects on different places. Detailed case study work through field study visits, away days and projects will give them an appreciation of transnational spatial change.

Recognizing how competitive the job market is for graduates, the program has been specifically designed to provide students with the key employability skills to help kickstart their career and make their mark in their chosen field. The salaried professional placement year builds on this and provides students with the opportunity to put the knowledge and skills they acquire during the first two years of the program into practice. It is also a way of building their professional profile and network.

Fieldwork and experiential learning are key facets in the development of undergraduate knowledge and skills within the disciplines of Geography and Planning. This program provides a range of opportunities for students to develop this knowledge and skill set, including in-module 1 or 1/2-day field visits; group data collection and analysis assessments; and dedicated Year 2 and Final Year field study modules.

This degree carries partial (spatial) RTPI accreditation. For full RTPI accreditation, once student have completed their spatial-accredited undergraduate degree, they need to complete a RTPI specialist-accredited Master’s degree.
