Overview

This page covers Geography and Planning across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Geography is assessed mainly through extended written work rather than examinations.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £23,150 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
