University of Cardiff
About the School of Geography and Planning
Our undergraduate courses focus on the impacts of economic, social, political and cultural
change on the built and natural environment.
These courses are designed and delivered by a team of world-leading academics in the areas of
geography and planning. While geography provides the skills to understand the nature of change
and its impacts, planning translates this understanding into action to ensure a better quality of
environment for present and future generations.
We provide our students with an immersive undergraduate experience aimed at developing not
only an intimate knowledge of relevant subjects, but also the ability to contribute to a wide range
of policy domains including social justice, health, urban futures, housing and homelessness, food
justice, third world development, and economic regeneration.
Our excellent staff-student ratios ensure that you will have the opportunity to have close and
regular contact with our members of staff who are dedicated to sharing their wealth of
knowledge and experience with you.
