Geography

• Engage with the biggest issues facing society today, from climate change and migration to inequality and sustainable development.

• Go beyond the classroom. Fieldwork will be an essential part of your study and the costs are covered by your tuition fees. There are residential field trips available in each year of your course. Previous fieldwork locations have included Malta, Slovenia, Belfast and the Isle of Skye.

• Gain workplace skills. All of our assessments are coursework based, and we focus on the kind of work geographers do in the workplace rather than exams.

History

• Study where history happened, in a city with a fascinating past. Studying in York means history is all around you, and you can immerse yourself in it through modules focusing on the city’s religious, royal, military and industrial heritage.

• Explore a huge range of periods, places and peoples, from antiquity to the 21st century. With a variety of modules to choose from, you can tailor your studies to the areas of history that excite you the most.
