Fieldcourses

Fieldcourses are a vital part of geography and we offer an exciting range of destinations for all our undergraduate students.

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.

Examples of recent fieldcourses*

  • Practising Geography, Peak District
  • Physical Geography fieldcourse - Snowdonia, Wales
  • Human Geography fieldcourse - Liverpool and Brighton
  • International fieldcourse options have previously included Ghana, Singapore, Namibia and Paris

*Please note that destinations are renewed periodically and are therefore subject to change.
