Overview

This page covers Natural Sciences (Earth Sciences and Geography) 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 reading led, with methods training in the middle years and a dissertation at the end.

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