Geography at the University of Exeter offers world class research and teaching at the interface of the social and natural sciences. Our programmes aim to develop your ability to better understand the world as well as the knowledge and skills to shape solutions for the future.
Through our programmes you’ll consider critical global issues and challenges of the 21st century which are likely to affect environments and societies in the coming years. You will encounter exciting fields of enquiry such as climate modelling, vegetation and rivers, satellite mapping, environmental change, climate change, biosecurity, heritage, landscape, health geographies and non-human geographies.
We help you develop a wide range of skills including specialised observation skills, critical judgements and empirical measurements, plus transferable skills which are highly sought after by employers. Ultimately, we aim to inspire in you an interest and enthusiasm in geography that will shape your life and career well beyond graduation.

I’m taught by highly experienced lecturers who are at the cutting edge of research in their fields, and this influence has developed my interests in particular areas. My programme allows me time to generate areas of interest for more specialised modules in years two and three.
The the range of learning styles that my programme uses is incredible, from lectures, tutorials and seminars to professional speakers and extensive field work.
