Professor Stewart Barr: There's never been a more important time to come and study Geography at
university. The University of Exeter has
declared a climate and environment
emergency, and we are really passionate
in engaging students about how we can
collaboratively understand that the
changes in our physical, social and
economic environment, so that we can make
a difference for the future.
Kieran: I found that Exeter University offer the
broadest range of different subjects
that you can study within the Geography
degree, and then when I came to an open
day at the University of Exeter I really
enjoyed it.
Stewart: Now our courses offer you a fantastic
opportunity to really engage with the
research - the world leading research - that
we're doing here at Exeter.
Emma: I specifically chose to do a BA Geography
at Exeter because of the vast range of
modules on offer: when you go through the
years you pick more and more optional
modules, but by the time you get to third
year it's completely optional so
therefore you can tailor your degree
completely to your interests.
Stewart: We've got a fantastically-situated campus here in Exeter:
really close to the vibrant city centre but also only 12 miles from the coast,
less than 10 miles from Dartmoor and just two hours on the fastest train to London;
it's really a fantastic place to live, work and study.
Jenny: I think my degree really prepared me really well for my future career,
it provides me with different skills that I need.
Stewart: We offer opportunities to
study abroad as part of our programmes, so
you might want to go and study at a partner
University in the United States or
Australia. We also offer you the
opportunity to do a work placement for a
year with an employer. Now both of these
give you a great opportunity to enhance
your skills, your learning and your
future employability. All of our field
trips involve a major research component
where we work with you to design
projects, to help you collect the data, to
analyze the data and analyze it in a way
that will make a difference.
Amy: I went to Brazil and it was such an
amazing experience in a different
environment and I think for a lot of
people it was the first time they got to
experience first-hand research in the
field, and it was great to see their
enthusiasm, with the lecturers involved as well.
Stewart: There has never been a more
important time to study Geography: come
and study with us to help us shape a
better future.
