• Interpret research findings and draw out relevant implications for development theory, policy and practice.

Geography involves understanding the processes shaping the changing relationships between people and Earth. Geography investigates the physical and social environments we inhabit. It looks at those environments’ interactions at global, regional, and local levels. It is based on the idea that all places are the product of social and natural processes that occur there, but that also connect them to other places.

Language is part our everyday lives, yet how much do we actually understand about how it works? Linguistics is the study of language, its structure and meaning, how it is learnt and used, and what this says about who we are and where we come from.

You’ll identify core similarities in language and communication, two activities that define us as humans. This qualification will appeal to you if you enjoy learning languages or have a curiosity about language.
