Studying Geography at Leeds Field classes School of Geography, University of Leeds Field work can provide the highlight of your years at university.
Students often look back on the field classes as the best part of their whole undergraduate career.
They provide an opportunity to learn about an area in some detail while also gaining and developing individual research skills that will prove invaluable when you later tackle the third year dissertation. During the first year our BA and BSc students go to either the North Yorkshire coast or North Wales. Students participate in classes considering both the human and physical aspects of the subject in both areas. We have also introduced a Leeds-based field class which utilises the geographical potential of our own area for further study. In the second year students go to either Southern France or Spain.
