The Geography component of this programme enables you to explore the spatial interactions between human behaviours and society and the inter-relationships between the environment and political, economic and social forces.

You'll undertake a range of Geography modules which encourage you to consider themes such as space and society whilst having the flexibility to tailor your studies through our optional modules. Sociology at Keele provides an insight into various aspects of the social world and how these areas influence the social challenges faced by individuals. You will explore topics such as ethnicity, class, migration, and feminism, and consider the historical explanations and developments for these areas in the contemporary world. You will investigate how these topics promote inclusion in society or create social divisions based on different opinions and experiences. This will encourage you to have an analytical approach to different theories and explanations and develop fair arguments based on data and your individual critical viewpoint.
