Student Profiles

James Rowe is a graduate of the BA Geography Single Honours course.

"Taking Geography at Nottingham has been the best decision I have made, resulting in both a rewarding and enjoyable three years at Nottingham. The course is flexible, allowing me to chose how and what I study; from Urban Geographies of Paris to the Biogeographies of Wallecea, I have been able to chose what I find interesting.

This idea is extended in the Third Year Dissertation which allowed me to explore and research a particular aspect of Geography, I decided to explore the Homeless Geographies of Nottingham City Centre. The Dissertation allowed me to hone the skills that I had developed over the rest of the course in conjunction with a topic of my choice. There are also lots of opportunities to travel, whether it be the compulsory field trip to the Lake Distinct in first-year or a semester in Australia, I particularly enjoyed my third-year trip to Paris.

More generally Geography has given me a wealth of skills that are relevant to a whole host of careers and I feel that my degree in Geography has prepared me well for the world of work!

It has been great being taught by some of the best geographers in the world at a University that has helped me grow academically and in a Geography Department that I really feel a part of."
