Overview
With extensive fieldwork opportunities at home and abroad, our Geography and Geology degrees enable you to take a closer look at the world around you.
The range of programmes enable you to develop your understanding of natural phenomena and examine the ways in which human activities both influence and are influenced by their physical environment.
You can choose a broad-based Geography degree, with the option to specialise in human or physical geography, or focus on geoenvironmental hazards or the evolution of the Earth.

Open Days and Virtual Events
If you are considering studying at Edge Hill University, the best way we usually recommend to gain an insight into the student experience is by attending an open day.
Our November 2020 open day is going virtual. We will ensure that you can still discover everything that Edge Hill University has to offer and get answers to all of your questions. You will be able to find out more about geography and geology and the University through a series of online activities.
If you would like to see our stunning campus for yourself, private campus tours, led by a student guide, are also available on a variety of dates. Pre-booking is essential.
