Student testimonials

Every year, over 100 new students join us to study one of our many Geography- and Environment-related programmes. In 2009/2010, just over 750 students enrolled or re-enrolled on our courses: 330 on one of our certificate or short courses; 174 on our undergraduate and foundation degrees; 242 at postgraduate level; and a total of 26 PhD students.

Some of them, like Sue Walton, studied with us to improve their career prospects. And then there are those, like Sarah Crew, who were attracted by the ability to to study part-time whilst working full-time. All of them are united in their desire to make the most of their time with us, some even returning after completing one degree to move on to the next level.
