Inspiring the Next Generation of Geographers

Many geography classes within the North-West have benefitted from our Inspiring the Next Generation of Geographers programme, which sees current PhD students visit year 12/13 classes with specialist equipment and activities from the Lancaster Environment Centre, which the students will have the opportunity to use and observe as part of the session. We are currently able to offer hands-on curriculum support in:

• Dynamics of magma flow
• Volcanic ballistics
• Diet and food security
• Flood forecasting and modelling
• Effect of flooding on society

Experience Days

We invite year 12 classes from local schools onto campus as part of our annual Experience Days to discover what it is like to study either Biosciences, Environmental Science or Geography. Students are able to take part in a range of hands-on activities as part of the day, as well as receiving advice on writing their Personal Statements and about future career progression within their subject.
