What is the course structure and how is teaching organised?
There is a great deal of detail about the structure of the course and how it is taught on this website. In summary, the Oxford course has at its core a concern with the integration of human and physical geography, but within this framework allows you to specialise in either of these branches of the subject. Much of your time will be spent working independently, reading and preparing for tutorials, as well as for submitted work in optional papers, and researching for your dissertation. College tutors take you for tutorials and small classes, as well as seeing you individually to discuss your general progress. Lectures, seminars and classes take place in the School of Geography and the Environment (OUCE) building, and the School organises the optional subjects in years two and three, and the field trips.
