在自然地理学的第一年，我们介绍了我们的研究专业和研究方法，包括在国外（例如葡萄牙）的住宅现场调查。第二年和第三年的选修课逐步将材料推向研究的前沿，包括可选的海外实地考察。第二年和第三年的大多数模块都侧重于自然地理和环境主题。在第二年和第三年，您可以采用综合模块（包括人文地理和自然地理的混合）和来自地理学BA（荣誉）列表的一个模块（视时间表的兼容性而定）。<br> <br> <br> <br>留学地点年
In the first year of Physical Geography, we introduce the range of our research specialisms and research methods, including residential fieldwork overseas (e.g. Portugal). Elective modules in the second and third years progressively lead to material at the cutting edge of research and include optional overseas fieldwork. The majority of modules in the second and third year focus on physical geography and environmental topics. In the second and third year, you may take integrated modules (with a mixture of human and physical geography) and one module from the Geography BA (Hons) list (subject to timetable compatibility). Students on this degree learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, practical classes, tutorials, fieldwork, group projects, student presentations, and self-directed learning, such as research, reading, and writing. All of these are informed by the interplay between theory and practice.<br><br>Seminars, tutorials, and practical classes are much smaller groups than lectures, small enough to allow one-to-one interaction with our academic staff. Practicals also allow hands-on experience of the work professional geographers undertake. The same is true of fieldwork, which at Durham is heavily subsidized and consists of engaging in geographical work in the field with members of academic staff. Students can also attend an extensive programme of research-focused seminars where staff and visiting scholars present their cutting-edge research.
