The Bachelor of Science in Geography program at the University of Southampton Malaysia offers a comprehensive study of the processes that have shaped our physical world. This hands-on BSc Geography course provides an in-depth understanding of the natural environment, distinct from our BA Geography course that focuses on human geography. By enrolling in this program, you will develop the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a wide range of career paths, including economic development, environmental management, engineering, or finance. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to explore and study various environments impacted by human activities while addressing present and future sustainability challenges. You will learn how to interpret landscapes, analyze geographical data, and utilize satellite images to gain insights into our dynamic and ever-changing world. This program equips you with the tools to navigate the complex interactions between humans and the environment, preparing you for meaningful contributions to the field of geography and sustainability.
This year provides a broad academic foundation in physical and human geography. Statistical and computing skills are also an important element in the early part of the degree.
You'll study a module called 'Dangerous Worlds'. This module explores aspects of climate change, including:
You'll also attend an in-depth, non-residential field course within the UK, looking at both physical and human geography topics.
There is a wide choice of optional modules.
You'll take core modules in physical geography. You can learn about remote sensing for earth observation or global water resources.
The highlight is the second year field course, where you will spend a full week in Tenerife with your peers learning about everything from life on a volcanic island (volcanology, biodiversity, hazards and natural resources) to how to design and execute your own field project. This is compulsory and there is no cost to attend.
Beyond the core modules, there are a wide range of other options to choose from. For example, you can learn the basic concepts and techniques behind geographic information systems.
You'll also go on an overseas field course to explore physical environments. Here, you'll get hands-on experience of collecting, analysing and presenting data.
You can take up to 2 modules outside geography. For example, you could explore:
You'll have a broad range of advanced options to choose from. These are based on the research interests of academic staff, and bring you to the frontier of current knowledge in geography.
You'll also have the option to travel further afield to Switzerland and Cambodia.
Whether fluvial processes, urban geography or health care provision fascinate you, you'll get a sense of cutting-edge issues and debate.
You will also complete a research project in your final year.
