Discover the Beauty and Expertise of Geography at Durham University - Study Group

Durham University is one of the top universities in the UK for Geography, with a strong reputation for research and teaching excellence. The university's stunning campus provides a beautiful setting for studying geography, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor exploration and fieldwork. The Study Group campus is located in the heart of Durham city, providing students with easy access to all the amenities and attractions of the city.

Students on this degree learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, practical classes, tutorials, fieldwork, group projects, student presentations, and self-directed learning, such as research, reading, and writing. All of these are informed by the interplay between theory and practice. Seminars, tutorials, and practical classes are much smaller groups than lectures, small enough to allow one-to-one interaction with our academic staff. Practicals also allow hands-on experience of the work professional geographers undertake. The same is true of fieldwork, which at Durham is heavily subsidized and consists of engaging in geographical work in the field with members of academic staff. Students can also attend an extensive program of research-focused seminars where staff and visiting scholars present their cutting-edge research.
