Level 1: Compulsory modules covering the basics of geographical study skills (including weekly tutorial meetings), measurement and field-based technologies, the foundations of the study of physical geography and project work. Level 2: Deepens the student�s knowledge of techniques and application areas, and (as in stage 1) involves significant amounts of fieldwork; key skills in numerical data handling and research preparation are addressed; opportunities to develop laboratory and field sampling skills are also available, along with modules in mapping and geographic information systems. Level 3: The project is intended to develop the student�s research ability further and gives the opportunity to concentrate on a topic of your choice; the project is taken along with specialist optional modules covering a range of subjects including geomorphology, Quaternary studies, geoarchaeology, offshore surveying, image measurement, information technology, fluvial studies, and climatology.
