Oxford Brookes University's Geography degree with a foundation year is a four-year course that opens with a foundation year building the academic skills needed for degree-level study, then continues into a BA or BSc in Geography. It covers physical geography topics such as climate policy, desertification and biodiversity loss, and human geography topics such as borders, cities and disaster management. Assessment is mainly by coursework rather than exams, and the course includes field trips in the UK and overseas. Later years add geographical research skills, global change, environmental hazard management, GIS and options such as conservation, political geography and future cities, finishing with an extended project. The course is accredited by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
