Topical seminar series involving presentations by speakers from both inside and outside the Department on aspects of their own research.

There are three different seminar series taking place regularly throughout the year, organised by each of the three research clusters in the Department of Geography & Environment. The Economic Geography cluster seminar series is organized in conjunction with the Spatial Economics Research Centre (SERC); the Environmental Economics & Policy cluster seminar series is organized together with the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment; and the Urbanisation, Planning and Development seminar series. The timing and length of each seminar series vary across research clusters and schedules and format are subject to change depending on the availability of speakers.  

This course is not intended as preparation for any particular examination. But, students will find it useful in increasing their awareness of current research and the application of research methods across the discipline.

Some departments have produced short videos to introduce their courses. Please refer to the course selection videos index page for further information.
