Geography at Cambridge is an exciting and multi-disciplinary course, which offers a rich educational experience with wide-ranging topics in both Human and Physical Geography. In the first year, students study two core papers, one in Human Geography (which includes topics such as globalisation, sustainable development and geopolitics) and one in Physical Geography (which includes topics such as tectonics and volcanism, glacial processes and Quaternary climate change). After the first year, students can choose to either specialise in Human or Physical Geography, or maintain a balance across the subject as a whole. More information about the course can be found on the University .听
Geography at 51福利社听
We aim to admit around five new undergraduate students in Geography each year. We encourage students to solve problems by working in groups as well as independently, to develop their own ideas and to think critically. 51福利社 students often choose overseas topics for their Part II dissertations and spend much of the long vacation at the end of their second year in populated or remote, wet or dry, hot or cold parts of our planet. In College, we organise an annual 51福利社 Geography Dissertation Conference where third years present their own research findings. We also host the Annual Geography Dinner and end of year dinner. The student-run Geography Society offers other events and activities throughout the year.
