Overview

Human geography is a dynamic discipline with profound influence on current debates in the social sciences and humanities. Human geographers focus on the relationships between space and society, particularly the interconnection between environment, place and identity; knowledge; globalisation processes; social justice; and a variety of other vital themes relevant to the contemporary world.

You will join a School ranked first in the UK for 'Geography and environmental studies' research (THE analysis of REF 2021). The Human Geography - Society and Space programme from University of Bristol is closely linked to the University's Cabot Institute, which brings together multidisciplinary research into all aspects of global environmental change.
