Geography at Dundee will provide you with the opportunity to examine some of the most exciting and challenging questions concerning the world’s human and physical environments. You will explore issues which range from global concerns, such as climate change or the relationships between the developed and developing worlds, to more local matters such as flooding and urban regeneration.
As a geographer at Dundee you will learn how to apply your knowledge in order to analyse and solve a wide range of environmental, social and regional problems. You will be taught by enthusiastic academic staff who are internationally recognised for their research achievements. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), geography at Dundee was rated joint 1st in Scotland for research classed as internationally excellent or world-leading.
The geography degree course at Dundee is highly flexible. Depending on your interests and the combinations of subjects you want to take, you can study geography for an MA or for a BSc. In addition to a wide range of joint Honours degrees there are also specific degree pathways in geography and planning and, for those interested in political issues in a global context, geopolitics.
You will also have the opportunity to study geography in an international context. There are many opportunities to participate in field trips to international locations such as California, New York and Spain as well as expeditions to Iceland and the Italian Alps. You can also spend one semester or up to a whole academic year studying abroad either in Europe or North America.
employability
A recent study by the Royal Geographical Society showed that, compared with other subjects, geographers are among the most employable because they develop the kinds of skills and knowledge that employers value such as communication, problem solving and analysis.
Some of our students go into careers which are linked to geography in fields like development, the environment, hydrology, tourism, planning and computing. Others enter more general fields, like management and administration, marketing or finance.
Geography at Dundee also has its own employers’ forum which provides careers advice for students as well as guidance on developing the geography degree in ways suited to what employers are looking for in new graduates.
teaching and assessment
Our teaching is a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and practicals, and you will also use our state-of-the-art physical geography laboratory and specialist software resources such as Arc/GIS.
However, geography is a field-based subject so throughout your degree you will also spend much of your time outside the classroom.
