Geography

Geography at the University of Exeter offers a lively, thriving and innovative research environment at campuses in Cornwall and Exeter, We attract funding from research councils, charities, the UK government and industry, and we enjoy strong links with national and international research projects. Our research groups span the breadth of geography: cultural and historical geographies; environment and sustainability; nature, materialities and biopolitics; space, politics and society; environmental change; and landscape and ecosystem dynamics. We are engaged in a number of interdisciplinary areas of research at the University, including climate change and sustainable futures, environmental sciences and earth system science.

You can choose from a range of innovative taught programmes relevant to 21st-century challenges that provide a fantastic platform for future employment. The Streatham Campus in Exeter is home to the £3.7m Sediment Research Facility, which provides additional laboratories, experimental facilities and a wide range of state-of-the-art analytical equipment. The Penryn Campus in Cornwall is home to the University’s Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) - an interdisciplinary centre leading cutting-edge research into the impacts of environmental change and the mitigation and management of its effects.

“I really enjoy the ability for us to get hands on experience within the actual sustainability job market itself, and the fact that this course is empowering us not only to learn about sustainability challenges, but giving us the right tools to tackle them.
My biggest highlight so far has probably been meeting with the external partner organisations, and seeing just how many large companies are keen to work with us on this course!”

“My favourite thing about the programme is the research skills that I have acquired in project designing. I’ve also really enjoyed the field trip to Newlyn fish market. We learnt about the various fish and how they are caught, challenges that fishermen face on the coast and the limited quotas placed on them.”
