A day in the life of a geography student

Deciding on the right course and university for you is a significant decision, so it is essential that you have as much information as possible to make an informed choice.

Choosing the right course for you

It is important to carefully consider all of the factors that will affect your experience as a student, including the curriculum, extracurricular activities, and campus life, in order to make the best decision for your future.

There’s so much to explore as a geography student at Nottingham. From learning outside of the classroom, inspirational field trips, societies, to our community. Every aspect of your journey will prepare you for your career, grow your confidence and leave you with life-long friendships and connections.

To give you a better understanding of what to expect from your studies, we have asked one of our current geography students to describe their typical day. This will provide you with a sense of what a day in the life of a geography student at our university is like and help you determine whether this particular course and university are the right fit for you.

Check out our current student Megan as she shares her typical day on campus to give you a real insight into life at the university. You’ll get to see everything from an on-campus lecture, preparation for an urban geography seminar, and even a trip to Jubilee Sports Centre.
