Human Geography and Sociology (with Foundation Year)

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

Human Geography examines the relationships between people, places, and the environment, exploring how these vary across locations and shape human activities and interactions with nature. This Human Geography degree combines perspectives from social sciences and humanities to provide a distinctive understanding of the world. The Human Geography course allows you to investigate human–environment relationships, considering areas such as tourism, urban environments, small islands, and natural hazard management.

Alongside specialising in human geographical dimensions, the Human Geography degree covers a broad range of topics, equipping you with diverse skills to contribute to an environmentally sustainable and socially conscious future.

Liverpool offers an ideal setting to study Human Geography, serving as a living case study of economic, social, and environmental regeneration, while also providing access to rural and coastal landscapes that enhance practical learning experiences.

SOCIOLOGY

Sociology is the study of how society is organised. It looks at how this organization influences individual attitudes and behaviors. It also examines the impact on social relationships within and between societies. Sociology studies both the current state of the social world and its changes. It explores how people can create positive change.

This degree promotes critical thinking on key issues. These include inequalities, climate change, feminism, social media, AI, racism, poverty, and social justice. You will gain the knowledge and skills to become a change-maker.

Our Sociology degree combines social theory, research methods, and comparisons of different societies. It helps you question common-sense assumptions by addressing personal, local, national, and global issues. You'll gain real-world experience in applying theory and using research methods. You can also focus on social issues that interest you through individual projects.

In line with Liverpool Hope’s commitment to social justice, Sociology seeks to understand modern social issues. It challenges conventional wisdom and emphasises the need for change. Graduates can pursue careers in various industries that require strong interpersonal, research, and creative skills.
