Which courses?

Which geog BA courses will allow me to do both phys and human geography, and have flexibility with the options I pick? I'm looking at Durham, Sheffield, and Bristol atm. Thanks.

From what I do know, at Durham the 1st year course is identical for both BA and BSc students and in the first year an equal amount of physical and human is studied. It is then the next year where you start to specialise, but as I understand it you can still study physical stuff aswell. Also it is apparently not too difficult to change between the courses because obviously if the course is the same in the first year and you decide you hate human, to switch to the BSc would not be much inconvenience.

That sounds great, thanks Durham's definately my 1st choice!

Mine too

Cool! Which college you applying to? I was going to apply to Van Mildret, but I've got a mate there who says it's not too great, so I think I'll go to Collingwood now!

I'm in two minds between Collingwood and Van Mildert too, what did they say wasn't too great about VM?

They just said it was quite quiet, not very central, and the people there wern't all that friendly. He said he spent most of his time in Collingwood, and the atmosphere was much better there.

Hello geography friends! Aahhh Durham and VM/Collingwood is the first choice uni for four of us geographers - you two (Aimee & Rob), Ellie and me! But it seems we have lost Aimee to Collingwood. Actually, Collingwood was my other preference but i reckon i'll apply to Mildert.

What made you choose V. Mildert?

Bristol's course allows you to do much the same as Durham; you do a mix of physical and human in the first year, then decide to specialise in the second. Switching between the BA and BSc is supposed to be quite simple, as long as the class sizes aren't too huge.

Either that or you could do what I'm doing and do the MSci at Bristol, and choose to stay on an extra year!
