鈥淭here were many highlights. Travelling away in the first year was the first time I felt challenged to be a geographer. The legendary trip to Iceland. And the camaraderie that developed with the academic staff and technical team.鈥
Simon Quincey, BSc (Hons) Geography graduate

Ben, BSc (Hons) Environmental Science student
鈥淚 got to go on loads of field trips, which is one of the reasons I applied for the programme. We got to go to Sicily and see volcanoes erupting, we went to Pembrokeshire in the rain, but it was a great bonding trip, and I made such amazing friends.鈥
