You are introduced to the subject area through outdoor and computer-based practical work. You learn a wide range of geographic techniques such as:

  • land surveying
  • GPS
  • satellite imagery
  • Geographic Information Systems

You also learn the mathematical techniques required to analyse and process geographic data.

You will have opportunities to develop your practical skills, using state-of-the-art equipment, particularly on our residential field course in the Lake District.
