  • projects with outside organisations

We also offer an annual series of industry guest lectures which you are encouraged to attend.

For Geography, fieldwork in a variety of environments forms a key element of your degree. We make use of Dundee city itself and other nearby locations and landscapes for local day trips. We also take you further afield into the Scottish Highlands, Spain, or Iceland for week-long residential field trips.

Assessment

  • essays
  • problem-based exercises
