You’ll get individual academic support throughout your degree, building to your final-
year dissertation – when you can follow your own research interests in geography. We
also offer opportunities for consultancy projects with external partners.
The teaching on our degrees is skills-based, geared towards employability, and lets
you match your studies to your interests. All of our geography students study a
common first year, where you will learn about both physical and human geography
and develop geographical skills. Then in second and third years, when you get some
choice in the modules that you pick, you can decide to focus on physical geography,
focus on human geography, or continue to do more of a mixture of the two.
We’re big believers in field trips, both in the UK and abroad. They’re a brilliant way of
honing your skills while studying the places, people and processes that make up the
world we live in.
From local day trips to residential courses in Europe, Africa and Asia, we offer a
diverse and stimulating range of field work. Our trips could have you mapping rock
outcrops in a Spanish desert, analysing the landscape of Iceland, or analysing the
mobility and transport of Barcelona.
And East Yorkshire is a great spot for field work. It gives you access to some fantastic
teaching and dissertation research sites, including dynamic coastal and fluvial
systems, urban regeneration areas, rural environments and Ice Age landscapes.

This. Is. Hull.
A place where we stand up to kings, do deals with the
world and take a wrecking ball to the slave trade.
A place where culture stands out and the phone boxes
are a different colour. A place where we’re free thinking,
independent and proud of it.
