Description:

What is Geography?

Geography is truly interdisciplinary as it spans a broad spectrum of the social, biological, informational and physical sciences. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, geographers are well placed to bring their understanding and skills to bear on social and environmental issues.

Geography: The course for you?

Trinity was ranked in the world top 100 universities for Geography (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018).

In recent years, third and fourth year geography students have been involved in academic staff-led fieldwork from Clare Island to Mallorca, undertaken summer research projects in Kenya, and made digital video documentaries and blogposts as part of their assessed work.

Geography at Trinity

Geography Matters! In contemporary society it is clear that geographical knowledge and experience are more important than ever; helping us know and understand a dynamic and rapidly changing world.

Geography at Trinity is a place of intensive and extensive geographical scholarship in Ireland. We teach and research across the discipline, from development theory to coastal modelling, and from climate change to the social economy, all within different contexts, from Nigeria to New Zealand.

We aim to challenge students intellectually and foster and maintain world-class research and teaching in a supportive and collegial atmosphere.

Geography is an integrative subject with an international outlook and openness to interdisciplinary collaboration. The focus in geography is on understanding spatial and temporal change on and of our planet. This allows for making direct connections with other disciplines and sub-disciplines that you will study through this Joint Honors programme.

Graduate skills and career opportunities

Geography offers a wide-array of career opportunities for graduates. As geographers, you will be trained to analyse and provide solutions to a broad range of global challenges, ranging from the environmental, to the economic, political and social. The combination of a broad-based discipline and training in highly relevant transferable skills is valued in today’s job market, where adaptability and flexibility are widely regarded as assets. A geographical training promotes the cross-fertilization of ideas, and a strong ability to engage and understand a range of approaches to problem solutions in different professions.

Careers taken up by graduating geography students in recent years include urban and regional planning, environmental consultancy and research, and teaching as well as positions in such areas as financial services, foreign affairs, leisure and tourism and overseas development.

Your degree and what you’ll study

The first year Geography course aims to provide a solid grounding in human, physical and environmental geography, focusing on materials that are dealt with in greater depth in later years. For their fourth year, students specialising in Geography undertake a research dissertation and choose from optional modules that include:

  • Understanding Environmental Change
  • Globalisation and African Development
  • Historical Geography I and II
  • Periglacial Geomorphology
  • Environmental Governance II
  • Spatial Analysis Using GIS
  • Stormy Geomorphology
  • Urban Geography: Cities, Space and Culture

Assessment

A combination of continuous assessment and end-of-semester examination is used.

Study abroad

There are opportunities for students to spend all or part of the third year studying abroad at Exeter, Bordeaux, Paris-Sorbonne, Prague (Charles University), Utrecht or Stockholm universities.
