Mark returns to class

We love welcoming our alumni back to campus! Each year we invite our recent graduates to return to class to talk with current students about career options. There are so many opportunities for Geography and Environmental Science graduates, and who better to learn from than our own alumni?

Mark Brown (Geography graduate, 2019) recently visited Northampton to tell us about his experiences training to be a secondary school teacher.

First year Geography students create tourist trails

First year Geography students have recently visited central London to create some tourist trails.

Students worked in groups, each of which was given a particular theme for their trail. They had to choose locations to visit, find out information about these, and write directions for the trail.

Third year Geography students visit museums

Third year Geography students recently visited the Museum of Childhood and the National Portrait Gallery as part of their studies.
