We can assure you that on our degree programmes, you will receive teaching of high quality and breadth of coverage that will enable you to develop your personal interests, capabilities and career aspirations.
Geography has a number of attractions that make it very worthy of study:
- It is one of the few subjects in which human and physical aspects of the environment are integrated.
At Queen’s you will be able to gain understanding of major global issues (e.g. environmental change, development, sustainability) and how human and physical geography can help to meet these challenges.
- Geography is a living subject that focuses on events that are happening in the world outside of the study room:
At Queen’s our staff represent international expertise in a wide range of specialisms within Geography. Our modules are informed by this research, as reflected in the projects you will work on and opportunities for fieldwork.
- Geography is wide-ranging not only in subject matter but in techniques and skills:
At Queen’s we pay particular attention to the skills base that underpins a student’s university career and beyond. Year 1 and Year 2 modules develop key subject specific and transferrable skills. According to your interests and ambitions there are further opportunities to apply these within the range of specialist modules in Year 3.
