Department of Geography and Environment
The Department of Geography and Environment at LSE brings together human geography, economic geography and environmental social science to examine the forces shaping places, people and planet.
Based in the Cheng Kin Ku Building, we combine world-class research with distinctive teaching that prepares graduates to tackle urgent global challenges in urbanisation, regional development, sustainability and climate change. We are consistently recognised among the very top departments globally for Geography.
