Congratulations and Welcome to Geography
"Welcome to Durham Geography! We are thrilled that you will be part of our community over the next three years and look forward to having you shape and sustain it with fellow students and our staff. Whether you’ve had lots of time to prepare for your arrival at Durham or if things have been more rushed, once you are here we look forward to helping you settle in. Information and orientation activities during induction week and meetings early in the term with your academic advisors are all designed to ensure your time at Durham starts out on a path to a successful educational experience." ~ Prof Cheryl McEwan, Head of Department
Read on for a welcome from the Durham University Geographical Society and key information about registration and about induction week.
Hi, I'm Louis and I am a third year BA Geographer! As a Co-President of DUGS, I would like to introduce you to the society’s big plans for this year. Whether it be renowned guest speakers, or our Geography Ball, the society puts on a range of events, starting with a fresher's week social. The society also provides opportunities to get to know other geography students of all years, and opportunities to network with Durham alumni and department staff. See you soon at the Freshers Fair!
