We offer multiple approaches to the study of societies and cultures, human geography, and sustainability, poverty and development, as well as community and citizenship, at local, regional and global levels. Ours is a vibrant research culture, powered by a shared passion for learning and intellectual engagement among our academics and students. You will be taught by, and engage with, academic experts and practitioners from a range of community, voluntary and local government organisations and backgrounds.
