“This course is built to ensure that students gain a broad interdisciplinary knowledge of Geography and its core concepts of people, space and place through both an Irish and international lens. With a wide selection of modules available across all areas of Geography, I was able to focus my studies on areas of interest within the discipline such as historical, urban, environmental, and social geography which I found engaging and beneficial in understanding today’s world in a greater context. I also developed useful skills of critical thinking, fieldwork, spatial and data analysis and research skills throughout the course that are greatly transferable into the workplace. An amazing experience, full of critical learning and hands-on experiences.”
