Introduction
Emmanuel is one of the largest colleges in terms of numbers of Geography undergraduates, and is very supportive of the subject. Directors of studies duties are shared between Philip Howell and Alex Jeffrey, both of whom teach in the Department across all three years. Their specialisms lie mainly in human geography, but supervisions are always shared in the Department of Geography, and physical geographers are provided for in exactly the same degree.
Emmanuel is centrally located, and conveniently situated very close both to the busy Geography Department in Downing Place and to the Scott Polar Research Institute on Lensfield Road. With a typical cohort of 6-8 undergraduates every year, we have a large Geography community, and this is supplemented by graduate students, post-docs, and others with a Geography background (including our Master, Dame Fiona Reynolds).
The College plays a key role in fostering a sense of community amongst the Geographers, starting with induction events for ‘freshers’ early in the first term. Subsequent social and academic events help make the College a fun and productive environment for Geographers new and old. They are an opportunity for undergraduates to get to know each other and to help each other out: Emmanuel and Geography undergraduates are very friendly and collaborative; Emmanuel geographers are doubly supportive.
