Fieldwork
Fieldwork has been a key element of research and teaching in geography at Newcastle.
Unique geographical perspective
Geography is a dynamic discipline that connects the international with the local, the natural with the human. To be able to appreciate the dynamic aspects of geography, you need to see for yourself how river ecosystems work, or why cities develop as they do.
Our Geography degrees give you the opportunity to take part in fieldwork in the UK and across the world. They help you to gain a unique geographical perspective.
Fieldwork is a key part of all our geography degrees and is essential in helping you to:
- develop project planning and team-working skills which are highly valued by employers
- practice the skills you have learnt in class in real-life situations
- develop your individual research skills
