“My degree involves first and second year field trips which provided opportunities to develop crucial fieldwork skills and create close relationships with my cohort. Our first field trip allowed us to study York – a beautiful city surrounded by rivers and historical sights. This trip was the highlight of my year as I got to know other students and establish crucial geographical skills.”
