The employment prospects offered by a degree combining the fundamentals of physics with a sound knowledge of computer systems and programming are obvious. Physics and Geography A great strength of this scheme is the student's freedom of choice in constructing their degree from offered modules - especially in geography. The geography modules available cover a great range of subjects including surveying science, physical geography, glaciology, analysis of natural materials, geographical statistics and fieldwork, fluvial geomorphology, and land evaluation. Other modules cover the background physics necessary to support these modules. The modules taught by the IGES cover a wide range of choice.
Students are able to take individual projects in their final year of study.
