In our friendly department you’ll benefit from small classes, specialist expertise, engaging research, and up-to-date technologies, including ArcGIS, GPS survey instruments, campus river gauging and digital ‘met’ stations.

Unsure about what you want to study?

Our combined degree courses means you don’t have to limit yourself to one programme if two tempt you.

You could pair Geography with a range of subjects, such as

• Business and Management

Excellent facilities

Our rural site is a superb natural laboratory where you could learn a range of scientific techniques, including field sampling and the use of laboratory instruments for sediment and water analysis.

Global learning experiences

We see travel as essential to helping you feel connected to the world you are studying.

Our Geography students have travelled as far as India and Spain, and have explored locally within parts of the UK. Our field trips combine on the ground research-led activities with local expertise and hands on practice.
