With 24 lecturing staff, we are large enough to cover most areas of human and physical geography. Students develop a range of skills in demand by employers, including report writing, presentations, ability to interpret data, understanding and application of computer methods. In the large government-backed Research Assessment Exercise the department was graded 4A, placing it in the top 15 geography departments nationwide. There is a direct link between research and teaching at Hull, and we believe this strongly enhances the undergraduate programme. Strong commitment to fieldwork Fieldwork is a key element of a geographical education and a vital part of degree programmes in the Department at Hull.
