Undergraduate
BSc Geography and Environment
How you study
Studying as
an External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning
your studies; you can study at a time and place to suit
yourself using the introductory study materials provided by the University as the starting point. These have been specifically commissioned
and written by academics of the University with the needs of
independent learners in mind.
Although you
may study independently, you may wish to
network with other registered students to
plan a mutually supportive study programme. In a growing
number of countries there are institutions
which offer a range of full-time, part-time, correspondence or
online tuition. A range of other study opportunities,
and support such as weekend courses or summer
schools may also be available.
Study material is included in the Initial Registration Fee
therefore when
you first register as an External student for the
BSc Geography and Environment, you will receive:
·
Studying for a Degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Each year you

additional courses you begin studying; any sample/past
examination papers and reports not previously received.
A note about textbooks:
In addition to the materials provided, you will be advised
to buy some books, and others you will need to refer to in a
library. As far as possible, you should consider the
facilities available locally to you, and how accessible books
are likely to be before registering as an External student.
