The Open University

This session aims to discuss what is in our exciting new BA (Hons) in Geography. This degree is very relevant to contemporary issues whether it is climate emergency, global pandemics, or migration and mobility of people across the world. How can geography help us to tackle these challenges? We will look at how this degree will equip you to think critically about the global challenges, engage with urgent issues, and make sense of the vast amount of information that is available for public consumption. We will look at how geographical concepts like place, space and scale are important when thinking critically about these issues. You will learn about our ideas of ‘blended fieldwork’ that can help you design, develop and carry out an independent research project as part of this degree. We are excited about what this degree has to offer and look forward to sharing that excitement with you!
