Course units offered by QEG staff
The research activities of staff in the Quaternary Environments and Geoarchaeology research group are closely linked to a range of course units in the undergraduate teaching programme. The course units listed below form part of the BSc and BA single honours programmes in Geography and the Joint Honours Programmes in Geography and Geology and Geography and Archaeology. Many of these course units are available as free choices. Resources will be added to these pages as the site develops – more information on these course units can be found on the Geography S: Drive.
