Geography is one of the most exciting subjects to study at university. We live in an interdependent world caught up in chains of events which span the globe. We depend upon an increasingly fragile physical environment, whose complex interactions require sophisticated analysis and sensitive management. These issues present intellectual and practical challenges of the first importance and they are amongst the central problems of modern geography.
The Department regularly scores at the top of national and international University league tables.
I love the fact that I can have so much diversity within the first year of my degree to really get a sense of the difference between geography at school and university before having to pick specific areas of interest. I like how in the morning I can be in a lecture about environmental change during the Quaternary and in the afternoon writing an essay about how race and ethnicity have affected the modern city.
