Subject Activity Strand Content

A geography degree is a passport to adventure and excitement, and this programme provides you with an awesome opportunity to see what it’s really like to study geography at university.

Our five stage programme will give you the chance to experience new ways of learning, meet with current students, talk to academic staff, and generally become familiar with life on the University’s Streatham campus. Through a series of sessions and a local field trip run by staff and students, you will get the chance to talk about student life, how learning differs from school and college, what geography is about at university, and where it could take you in the future.

The sessions that we offer are designed to be very informal and relaxed, and will be a fantastic opportunity to work with other prospective students in a vibrant and dynamic environment. Don’t miss this chance – see where geography can take you!
