Fieldtrips

When studying Geography, it is important to learn about the world through direct experience and observation. You will participate in residential field trips in the first and second year in both UK and European destinations, which are free of charge to students. Beyond these residential trips, our London location gives us fantastic opportunities to explore important geographical processes locally. Many of our modules also include local day trips.

Leadership for Change

Through this third year module, you'll work as part of a team on a project with a local organisation. This will allow you to put your learning into practice and also develop important skills for the world of work.

Through the study abroad scheme, you will have opportunity to study at one of a number of European and American universities.
