Outreach and public engagement

The department offers a wide range of outreach and engagement opportunities designed to raise student aspirations, support teaching and learning, and promote our Geography and Planning.

We regularly visit schools to give diverse lectures and deliver class activities to support teachers and engage students in subjects they would not otherwise come across (from year 3 to year 13). We also give talks to local groups and societies about e.g. geography, landscapes and local history and have had several staff contribution talks to the global event ‘Pint of Science’.
