10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation 3 hours per week for twelve weeks or equivalent.

This is an introductory human geography unit concerned with the differences and similarities between places in terms of economic, political, social and cultural relations. The unit will examine this across the hierarchy of geographic scales from the global to the local. GEOG101 takes some first steps towards establishing what globalisation might be is it just a fashionable buzz-word, or does it reflect major changes now affecting people in all parts of the world? The unit explores the interrelationships between the global and the local demonstrating that Geography has an important role in furthering our understanding of links between global and local processes. This concern with globalisation is integral to explaining the changes that are and have been occurring to the human geography of the world.
