Geography students have been doing lots of fieldwork activities over the past few weeks - fieldwork is a great way to apply what we have learned in the classroom to real-world environments.
Last week five groups of students visited London to explore a range of geographical issues.

First year students took part in an activity using Twitter, which required them to develop field observation skills and write concisely.

Some second year students visited the
Natural History Museum to enhance their geological knowledge, whilst others explored transport geography using different sorts of
travel modes.

Third year students studying water resource management learned about
cholera, sewers and London's
hidden rivers...

| A little bit of mudlarking! |
Third year students on the Children's Geographies module visited the
Victoria & Albert Museum and the
National Portrait Gallery. They looked at paintings and sculptures to explore how representations of childhood have varied over time.
