Study aspects of social behaviour, including cultural, economic and political activity, at both global and local scales.

Human geography is a major field of geography which explores the ways in which human activities influence, and are influenced by, space, place and the wider environment. We focus strongly on an exploration of the impacts of political, economic, historical, social, cultural and environmental geographies and understanding how these help us make sense of the complex world in which we live.
