Geography

Course summary

The course is aimed at students who have an interest in the environment and are interested in current affairs. Students who enjoy travel and want the opportunity to carry out practical work outdoors as well as classwork. Students who enjoy working in groups and independently and wish to broaden their studies to cover Sciences and Humanities. Students will conduct their own fieldwork investigation in a topic of their choice so this can complement other Arts or Sciences course content options in either a physical or human research project. The course involves the study of our natural and human environments. It is a practical course based on 4 days of fieldwork over the two years, 2 days for physical geography on either Coastal or Glacial Environments and 2 days for human geography in an urban and rural setting.
