Is it possible to study English with Geography at University?

I've always loved English Literature and Geography since I was really young and I still love them now. I'm currently studying them as AS Levels. I was wondering if it is possible to study both at Uni like you can study English with History? I think the University of Exeter do it but I've heard of no others. I was wondering if Cambridge do it with their Tripos thing? (I don't really understand what this is though!) Has anyone ever studied these two? They seem like an odd combination but I disagree - I think they suit each other more than people think :smile:

Thoughts?

Anyone?

English AND geography?

Do... Do they mix?

I'm at Keele, and as well as doing your main course, you can, if the timetable fits, pick up electives too in a different field. I think they do this in lots of other places too, so you could always do an English Lit. degree with a Geography elective every semester.

Yeah! I'd love to carry on with Geography but if it's between the two, English wins out. I wish more Unis did both :frown:

The Scottish system would probably let you do that, as well as courses like Flexible Studies or whatever they call it that you can find at Durham, Exeter, Manchester, etc.
