Did you know that we ranked 1st in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) 2024 for the Geography and Environment subject? The largest survey of its kind, PTES is the only UK higher education sector-wide survey that draws insights from postgraduate students about their learning and teaching experience. Learnings from the feedback received inform enhancements across the sector. Our result is a tribute to the commitment and enthusiasm of the entire teaching team and the high-quality education and experience they deliver to students during their postgraduate learning journey.
