In Level 1 you undertake a study of Dundee based on local urban fieldwork, in Level 2 you attend a residential field class in the Scottish Highlands, and in Level 3 there is a foreign field class in south east Spain.
There are also many other local excursions which exploit Dundee’s location close to some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK as well as its proximity to Scotland’s major cities. In addition, some optional modules include foreign field excursions, such as that to New York City for those taking the Advanced Urban Geography module.
Most courses are assessed by a mix of examinations and coursework. In Levels 1 and 2 continuous assessment from coursework provides around 50% of your overall mark. In Levels 3 and 4 there are some courses which are based wholly on continuous assessment while others retain a mix of examination and coursework.

how has your degree helped you in the ‘real world’?
Laura Spence graduated with an MA (Hons) Geography in 2003. After graduation she joined a Scottish Police Force as an Intelligence Analyst. She says: The MA in Geography provided me with many skills that have been easily transferred to employment. I have utilised practical skills such as data handling and analysis and training in Geographic Information Systems (mapping software). The fieldwork elements of the course, the group projects and presentations increased my confidence levels and taught me how to work as part of a team.
