Physical geography & environmental science, Loughborough University

Loads of employers look for geography

Amazing course, so many opportunities and amazing lecturers

My course offered so much variety and I would definitely recommend it. In first year you have a great selection of compulsory modules and then by the time you get to second and third year you know more about the areas that interest you most and have more choice over the modules you study. The field trips on offer are amazing and you have the option to do a placement year which is a great way of getting experience to help secure a graduate job when you finish. It is a course that sets you up for a whole host of careers and my friends have all gone on to achieve great things.

The Geography department here at Loughborough are absolutely unreal! The academics really care about your success and are inspiring with their enthusiasm for their research.

The course was good and generally teaching very god. Difficult to see where all money goes due to limited field and lab work. Tutoring good, thorough although sometimes boring. Job prospects often offered however I didn't pursue so hard to rate.

Geo love forever

I loved my course and the opportunity to pick modules I was most interested in. The university has a great internship program which I was lucky enough to be a part of which then helped me to get into my current career.

Great flexibility in what you want to do, meaning you get to make your degree exactly what you want.

The course is a good mix of human and physical which is what I wanted. You get a fair amount of prions in second and third year as well as the option to do a placement which will increase job prospects. Overall I am really enjoying it.

The first year is mainly Human geography which is great if you enjoy it, but not for me. Second year was a lot better as there is room to specialize. There is a vast amount of knowledge in the department and the field trips are amazing.

Enjoyable

Interesting degree with great lecturer's and facilities.

Love my course, Earth system science is my favourite but I love all the others

Awesome course with some great lecturers who are all experts in their field willing to take time out to help you with what ever you need

Enjoyable and interesting course, gaining transferable skills that I feel can confidently put to use as a graduate. When you do the maths (price per contact hour) though it is hard to see where the £9000 goes, especially when we don't get notes or lecture slides printed for us (something other courses benefit from and represents a significant weekly outgoing that I have to budget for).

excellent course been able to have so many chances to meet potential employers and can't fault it but the personal tutor is not really active to help.
