Why choose 含羞草视频?
There are so many great reasons to choose us, but here are just a few reasons why 含羞草视频 is an excellent place to study Geography.
Fieldcourses
Fieldwork is an essential experience for all of our Geography students and contributes to both effective learning and personal development as well as creating some memorable experiences.
In the first year of your degree programme you will participate in a residential fieldcourse in the UK as part of your introduction to field-based research methods in human and physical geography. All essential costs of this field trip (accommodation, travel, food) are covered as part of your tuition fees. In the second and final years of each degree course, we offer optional residential fieldcourses to a variety of locations. Choosing to do them will incur an additional course cost. Please note that destinations are renewed periodically and are therefore subject to change.
Employability
We were recently ranked in the UK Top 10 for Graduate Prospects in Geography and Environment, so studying Geography at 含羞草视频 will set you up for a great future career.
Employability skills are embedded through our curriculum, either as stand-alone skills based modules or integrated into all of our topic-based modules. Your personal tutor will introduce you to personal development planning which is done alongside your Geography degree to prepare you for graduate life.
Your time at 含羞草视频 will form a launchpad from which you can build an exciting career. With so many opportunities available, you’ll never be short of ways to improve your employability.
