From climate change to health inequalities and food security to natural hazards and disasters, geography is at the heart of many of humanity’s great challenges. At Lincoln, we believe that meeting these challenges requires us to understand the links between humans and the environments we inhabit — a theme that runs through our teaching and research.
Geography at Lincoln is ranked in the top 20 overall in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2024

World-leading research that is helping to change the world
Our undergraduate programmes offer the chance to benefit from a wide range of fieldwork destinations both in the UK and overseas to support the development of key skills in gathering, collating, and analysing quantitative and qualitative data. In the first and second-year, fieldwork is a core subject and has been previously conducted at the coast of Lincolnshire and the Greek island of Crete.
Our undergraduate students can benefit from opportunities to gain valuable work experience with partners in industry, schools, and public sector organisations. These include a placement module in the second year and a consultancy module in the third year of our undergraduate courses, enabling students to practice and develop a wide range of skills and expertise of relevance to the workplace whilst also building invaluable career networks.
Geography graduates are in high demand across a wide range of professions and organisations. Our graduates can progress onto careers in areas including local government, health and social care planning, urban planning, teaching, environmental consultancy, and environmental management. The Department's links with industry, business, and environmental regulatory agencies provide valuable opportunities for internships and work experience.
The range of physical and human modules allows you to make the degree your own and follow what you are interested in. The valuable opportunities to get involved with real-world research projects is fantastic and helps put your interests at the forefront.
At Lincoln, our researchers are working to help solve some of the world's most pressing problem. Our academic teams are firmly focused on examining the relationship between human society, the environment, and the challenges we face now and in the future.
Professor Edward Hanna
Edward Hanna is Professor of Climate Science and Meteorology and a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. Research led by Professor Hanna has developed a new method using AI and machine learning which could improve predicting seasonal weather condition.
Our team has set up an automatic weather station on the rooftop of the University's Isaac Newton Building. Data collected is planned for use in a variety of student projects and for micrometeorology and climate change research.
