Geography (Hons) University of Lincoln

Overview

Geography (Hons) at University of Lincoln explores social science perspectives on issues of globalisation, sustainability, geo-politics, and cultural change, ranging from the local to the global scale. It encourages students to develop the analytical, critical, and collaborative skills needed to work across broad interdisciplinary issues. This course is designed to develop subject understanding and geographical skills progressively in the context of real-world problems, delivering a degree that is relevant to the global, environmental, and societal challenges of the 21st century.

Our academics are experienced collaborative researchers investigating key and emerging issues in global development across the spectrum of human geography and related disciplines. As part of our 'Student as Producer' initiative students can engage in research and project work that builds on the expertise of staff with undergraduates and academics to collaborating on research activities.

Fieldwork

Our students benefit from a wide range of fieldwork destinations both in the UK and overseas to support the development of key skills in gathering, collating, and analysing quantitative and qualitative data. In the first and second-year, fieldwork is a core subject and has been previously conducted at the coast of Lincolnshire and the Greek island of Crete. Costs of these compulsory trips are covered by the University. In the third year, we offer an optional trip that in previous years took place in central and southern Chile, and should students choose to participate, they may be responsible for covering their travel, accommodation, and general living costs.
