Societies
Geography students are involved in many different societies. Two you are likely to hear about during welcome week are:
GeogSoc is one of Exeter's largest academic societies on campus with over 250 members. It organises many regular socials, intramural sports teams, peer mentoring, weekend trips and the Annual GeogSoc Spring ball.
Missing Maps is an organisation founded by a group of charities including The British Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières. It aims to map areas of the world at risk from natural disasters and crises. Exeter Geography students support Missing Maps by running a number of ‘mapathon’ events throughout the year.
Basic reading lists for each module can be found in the module descriptors (see Streatham Campus: Stage 4 modules) and/or on individual module ELE pages. All recommended reading should be available through the university library.
