Geography, BSc Hons FullTime

Great course - wide range of topics are covered in first year. Personally, my personal tutor isn't very approachable but over than that all lecturers etc are very friendly and can help you with any thing. Maybe in future have more physical geography introduced in first year as I prefer it more to human geography but I love the course overall

Good overall, interesting content although I feel that the marking is inconsistent as my friends who are marked by different tutors get different marks for me on the same question. Some boring lecturers but that's inevitable. read more

Course content is great because it will make you an all rounder. You learn a lot of valuable skills which are necessary for you in the future. Personally did not feel like the course was enjoyable and wouldn't necessarily say it's value for money. read more

The course is very exciting and up-to-date. International relations especially is a low contact hour course - 1 or less hours a week for tutorials but the rest of the time is good for doing the reading. read more
