Make sure you always check the latest syllabus, which is available at  www.cambridgeinternational.org .

• Command words
• The flipcards below include command words used in the assessment for this syllabus. The use of the command word will relate to the subject context.
• Example candidate response
• All information and advice in this section is specific to the example question and response being demonstrated. It should give you an idea of how your responses might be viewed by an examiner but it is not a list of what to do in all questions. In your own examination, you will need to pay careful attention to what each question is asking you to do.
• Question  The question used in this example is from Paper 1 and is an example of a structured-answer question. Now let’s look at the question to see what the ‘command words’ for this question mean for your answer. (c) For a named country you have studied, describe the problems caused by over population. Describe is the command word in this question. This means that you state the main features of the problems caused by overpopulation. Using examples is an excellent way of supporting your descriptions.

• Example candidate response and examiner comments (c) For a named country you have studied, describe the problems caused by over population. Name of country: Ghana Ghana is noted to be one of the top countries known to be overly populated. With this, we see that there is pressure on Ghana’s resources. The population of Ghana is very high and because of this water supply would reduce, there would be pressure on the electricity in Ghana because so many people in the country are using the power. Ghana’s government revenue would reduce. The government of Ghana would put in a bit of money to improve medication to new ones, rebuild hospitals, care homes, provide new and well trained doctors, re-construct roads bring more water from another place where there is no supply of water. Ghana has a high rate of crime due to overpopulation. When there is a crowded area people who are uneducated would want to cause a scene and steal and kill people. There is a high spread of so many diseases in Ghana. Diseases such as cholera due to the water we drink as a country and also people use dirty hands to eat. When there are crowded, immediately one person gets the disease it spreads to another person and moves on. The settlements in Ghana are congested. An example is Nima. Nima is very congested and the homes are all together and there is even no space for a car to park. Over-population brings about unemployment because there are a lot of people in the country. Over-population brings noise.

Introduction

Cambridge is an outstanding place to study geography. The Department of Geography is a flourishing academic community committed to high standards of teaching and research across the expansive range of issues covered by this discipline.

From polar studies to poverty reduction, we focus on delivering high quality, research-led teaching that is stimulating and challenging. This commitment to teaching has consistently been recognised by external league tables and accolades.

The department thrives through the high quality of students that come to study with us. The traditions, teaching and research endure on the basis of the undergraduate students that study in the Department. Join us: and be part of this community and shape its future.

Undergraduate studies: the Tripos

Each year about 100 undergraduates are admitted to the University of Cambridge to read Geography. Teaching is through lectures, supervisions, practical classes and field courses, organised around a three-year course — called the Geographical Tripos. There is an emphasis on examinations at the end of each year, but also submission of assessed practical classes and written coursework.

First year work does not contribute to a student’s final year degree class. Second year results contribute 30% and third year results 70% towards the final degree class.

All first year geographers take the same two core papers which introduce key themes and issues in Geography. Irrespective of students’ school subject backgrounds, by the end of the first year students will have the foundations to make choices for the rest of their degree. Both courses include lectures, supervisions and may include field trips (day or half-day).

People, Place and Politics of Difference

Topics vary from year to years but may include:

• What Geography is – how we practise it and why it matters
• Geopolitics and political geography
• Globalisation
• Cultural geographies
• Society and environment
• Sustainable development
• Health and diseases
• Uneven economies and inequality
• Urban geographies

Environmental Processes and Change

• Tectonic process and volcanism
• Glacial processes
• Atmospheric processes and climate
• Quaternary climate changes
• Biogeography
• Nature-based solutions for climate change

Geographical Skills and Methods

Students also follow a course in Geographical Skills and Methods which involves lectures, laboratory and computer practical classes and fieldwork, and covers the following areas:

• Statistical methods
• Presenting geographical data
• GIS and cartography
• Human geography methods
• Physical geography methods

These are assessed by means of coursework.

Study Skills

Students are supported in making the transition from studying at school to studying at university through a range of taught sessions and online material. These cover topics such as:

• Getting the most out of your lectures
• Making the most of your supervisions
• Reading for essays
• Essay writing
• Time management
• How to prepare for exams
• How to balance your work and other activities

Second year

All second year students take a core paper, Living with Global Change, which examines key themes in environmental history relating to global change including, for example, hazards associated with volcanoes, health and climate change.

In addition, students can begin to specialise and choose three option papers. These very from year to year but might include:

• Development Theories, Policies and Practices
• Citizenship, Cities, and Civil Society
• Quaternary Climates and Environment
• Glacial Processes

There are further lectures in Geographical Skills and Methods, for example, Quantitative Spatial Data Analysis, and more advanced geographical techniques, such as discourse analysis, participatory observation, environmental modelling (e.g. of glacier melt), analysis of tree rings and/or sediment cores, analysis of remotely sensed (e.g. satellite) data.

All students are expected to take part in residential or multi-day field classes during the second year. Fieldwork provides the practical experience and training in geographical skills and methods that cannot be taught in the classroom. Destinations vary from year to year. Recent destinations have included Spain, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and Morocco as well as the UK. We take seriously the environmental impact of fieldwork and its carbon footprint. We therefore do not run fieldtrips to long-haul destinations and seek to offer low carbon fieldtrips. We are aiming to reduce the carbon impact of our fieldtrips over time. Each student contributes towards the cost of residential fieldtrips, in the region of £150-200, but there are funds available to support students if need be.

Dissertations

During the second year, students start to plan their Dissertations . They derive their topic based on their interests developed from the themes introduced in lectures, skills acquired on fieldtrips and in the courses on Geographical Skills and Methods. Every student has a dissertation supervisor who guides them through this process. By the end of the second year, students are well placed to collect data over the summer break before the start of the third year.

In the third year, students study four papers from a choice of twelve. There is no requirement to balance human and physical options; it is common for students to take a mixture of both. The precise papers on offer vary from year to year but current and recent papers include:

• The Geographies of work and employment
• Geographies of the Cryosphere
• Political Ecology in the Global South
• Demographic Continuity and Change
• Political Appetites: Geographies of Food and Power
• Geographies of Postcolonialism and Decoloniality
• Legal Geographies
• The Geographies of Global Urbanism
• From Earth Observations to the Climate System
• Volcanology
• Life within Limits: Science for climate and ecological futures
• Biogeography: Biological Processes and Environmental Change

As part of the third-year examination, students also submit a 10,000 word dissertation on a subject of their choice. Dissertation planning starts in the second year. Data are usually collected in the summer between the second and third years and in the third year students continue to work with a dissertation supervisor. Dissertations are a chance to put into practice what has been taught in lectures, supervisions and practical classes. The subjects and locations of dissertations vary widely, as a few titles from recent years indicate:

• A Lost Community? Migration and Community on St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly
• Saviour or Stealth Tax? Pay-by-use Domestic Waste Charging in Dublin, Ireland
• Food Access in Malawi: An Island Perspective
• Living in the Valley of the Shadow of Death? Management and Risk Perception of Volcanic Hazards near Mt Rainier, WA
• Sulphur Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulphide Emissions from Mutnovsky Volcano, Kamchatka, Russia
• Recent Temporal Changes and Spatial Trends in the Dynamics of a Shrinking Valley Glacier: Haut Glacier D’Arolla, Switzerland

Some students choose to do the research for their dissertations abroad, whilst others stay in the British Isles. Some funding is available via the Department and there are University travel awards for which there is open competition. Many Colleges also provide generous financial support for travelling during the vacations.

Geography at Cambridge

Geography at Cambridge is the study of some of the biggest challenges facing our planet, from climate emergencies to pandemics and urbanisation. 

Explore both human and physical geography.  You will have the option to specialise in one of these areas from the second year or continue with both.  

Geography at Cambridge 

Geographers study some of the biggest challenges facing our planet. This course tackles a number of these, including: 

• food security 
• climate and biodiversity emergencies 
• globalisation 
• social inequalities 
• urbanisation 
• melting ice sheets 

You do not have to choose whether to specialise in physical or human geography. If you want to, you can do both in all three years. 

Fieldwork is an important part of this course. It’s an enjoyable way to develop your research skills. You will go on: 

• one-day excursions each year, depending on your choice of papers 
• compulsory field classes of 5 to 8 days in the second year, in September or during the Easter vacation 

Recent fieldwork locations include destinations in both mainland Europe and the British Isles. We are aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of these trips.

Teaching and facilities

We focus on delivering high quality, research-led teaching that is stimulating and challenging. This commitment to teaching has consistently been recognised by external league tables and accolades.

Our excellent facilities include:  

• the Geography Department Library, which contains around 20,000 books, journals and periodicals, and is also a fantastic study space 
• physical geography labs, where you will work 
• the Scott Polar Research Institute, where some of your teaching will take place 

You'll also have access to the impressive Cambridge University Library, one of the world’s oldest university libraries.

Course costs

When you go to university, you’ll need to consider two main costs – your tuition fees and your living costs (sometimes referred to as maintenance costs).

Your living costs will include costs related to your studies that are not covered by your tuition fees. There are some general study costs that will apply for all students – you can find details of these costs here .

Other additional course costs for Geography are detailed below. If you have any queries about the costs, please contact the Department.

• Waterproof clothing and footwear: we recommend you buy suitable clothing and footwear for field trips. This is an optional cost and how much you spend depends on personal preference.
• The Department provides £21 of printing credit each year.

Field trips

• Compulsory residential field trip in Year 2: students are asked to contribute about £150. This covers all transport, accommodation and meals. If there is a case of financial need then students can apply to their College for support.
• Potential dissertation costs: you may incur costs when working on your dissertation, but the level of these will depend on your dissertation topic, and therefore your data collection/work location. Some Department support is available to support partial dissertation costs – please contact the Department for further information.

Your future career 

When you graduate you’ll be highly skilled in: 

• dealing with complex problems 
• information retrieval 
• data management 
• statistics 
• using specialist software 

You’ll also be used to working independently and communicating efficiently.  

Our graduates enter many different careers, including: 

• industry and commerce 
• social enterprises and charities 
• social and community work 
• environmental management and conservation 
• the Civil Service

Teaching is provided through a mixture of lectures, practicals, laboratory work, field classes and small-group supervisions. 

You will usually have 6 to 8 lectures each week, plus reading.  

You will also have around 3 supervisions every two weeks, where you discuss a topic beyond the material given at lectures.  

This is usually based on reading, essay writing, preparation of presentations or answering data response questions.

You’ll be assessed through written exams at the end of each year. In second and third year, you’ll also be assessed through coursework. 

You won't usually be able to resit any of your exams. 

Year 1 (Part IA) 

You’ll be introduced to key themes and issues by studying 2 core papers.  

The first core paper is People, Place and the Politics of Difference, and includes topics such as: 

• cultural geography 
• sustainable development 
• historical geography 
• geopolitics 
• uneven economies and inequality 
• health and disease 

The second recent paper on Environmental Processes and Change included topics such as: 

• tectonics and volcanism 
• coastal processes 
• glacial processes 
• Quaternary climate change 
• biogeography 
• atmosphere and climate 

You will also go to a range of lectures and lab classes, both physical and computer-based, that will introduce you to geographical research skills across the subject.   

Year 2 (Part IB)  

You take a compulsory paper: 

• Living with Global Change 

This paper examines key concepts and current issues in geography. It is usually based around the theme of geographical risk, but the focus varies from year-to-year. 

You also start to specialise and take 3 papers from a choice of 6.  

Papers change year-to-year. Recent examples include: 

• Inequality 
• Development Theories, Policies and Practices 
• Citizenship, Cities and Civil Society 
• Glacial Processes 
• Biogeography 
• Quaternary Climates and Environments 

You will also do project work involving field, lab and computer skills and techniques.  

Projects vary according to which you papers you choose. 

Everyone has to take a paper in quantitative methods. 

You will also take part in field classes of 5 to 8 days. These trips usually include a mix of different types of geography. They’ll help you to develop knowledge and skills for your dissertation.  

Year 3 (Part II) 

You can choose to specialise further or keep a balance across the subject as a whole.  

You take 4 papers from a choice of 12. Papers on offer vary each year, but recent examples include: 

• Global Urbanism 
• Work and Employment 
• Political Ecology 
• Glaciology 
• Postcolonialism and Decoloniality 
• Geographies of the Arctic 
• Environmental Knowledges 
• Volcanology 
• Legal Geographies 
• Geographies of Food and Power 
• Demographic Continuity and Change 
• Life within Limits 
• Landscape and Power 

You also submit a dissertation of 10,000 words on a topic of your choice.  

Planning for the dissertation starts in the second year. Data is usually collected in the summer between your second and third year, with analysis during the third year. 

For further information about this course and the papers you can take see the Department of Geography website . 

Changing course

It’s really important to think carefully about which course you want to study before you apply. 

In rare cases, it may be possible to change course once you’ve joined the University. You will usually have to get agreement from your College and the relevant departments. It’s not guaranteed that your course change will be approved.

You might also have to:

• take part in an interview
• complete an admissions test
• produce some written work
• achieve a particular grade in your current studies
• do some catch-up work
• start your new course from the beginning 

For more information visit the Department website .

You can also apply to change to:

• Management Studies at the Judge Business School

You can't apply to this course until you're at Cambridge. You would usually apply when you have completed 1 year or more of your original Cambridge course.

You should contact your College’s Admissions Office if you’re thinking of changing your course. They will be able to give you advice and explain how changing courses works.

Minimum offer level

Discover Uni data

Contextual information.

Discover Uni allows you to compare information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.  This can be a useful method of considering your options and what course may suit you best.

However, please note that superficially similar courses often have very different structures and objectives, and that the teaching, support and learning environment that best suits you can only be determined by identifying your own interests, needs, expectations and goals, and comparing them with detailed institution- and course-specific information.

We recommend that you look thoroughly at the course and University information contained on these webpages and consider coming to visit us on an Open Day , rather than relying solely on statistical comparison.

You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by Discover Uni.

• Discover Uni relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it may lead to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes. Any course which combines several disciplines (as many courses at Cambridge do) tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases the Discover Uni comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either. For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology (for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge), the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one (or a smaller combination) of those subjects.You may therefore find that not all elements of the Cambridge degree are represented in the Discover Uni data.
• Some contextual data linked from other surveys, such as the National Student Survey (NSS) or the Destination of Leavers in Higher Education (DLHE), may not be available or may be aggregated across several courses or several years due to small sample sizes.  When using the data to inform your course choice, it is important to ensure you understand how it has been processed prior to its presentation. Discover Uni offers some explanatory information about how the contextual data is collated, and how it may be used, which you can view here: https://discoveruni.gov.uk/about-our-data/ .
• Discover Uni draws on national data to provide average salaries and employment/continuation data.  Whilst starting salaries can be a useful measure, they do not give any sense of career trajectory or take account of the voluntary/low paid work that many graduates undertake initially in order to gain valuable experience necessary/advantageous for later career progression. Discover Uni is currently piloting use of the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data to demonstrate possible career progression; it is important to note that this is experimental and its use may be modified as it embeds.

The above list is not exhaustive and there may be other important factors that are relevant to the choices that you are making, but we hope that this will be a useful starting point to help you delve deeper than the face value of the Discover Uni data.

Report: Devan Cambridge reverses course, plans to return to Texas Tech basketball

Devan Cambridge has reportedly had another change of heart with Texas Tech basketball .

After initially reporting Tuesday the 6-foot-6 forward would be entering the transfer portal, Joe Tipton of On3 posted on X, formerly known as Twitter , that Cambridge "no longer plans to enter the transfer portal and will return to Lubbock for another season."

Tipton cited Cambridge as his source for the initial report Tuesday and did so again Thursday.

Cambridge had never officially entered the transfer portal and appears to be sticking around for his final year of eligibility.

Cambridge started all eight games he suited up for the Red Raiders before suffering a season-ending knee injury in December. In his short time on the floor, he averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in about 26 minutes of action per contest.

UP TO DATE: Texas Tech basketball transfer portal tracker: Who's in, who's out for Red Raiders?

In a sit-down interview with the Avalanche-Journal in February, Cambridge said he had "No doubt in my mind," about his intentions to return to the Red Raiders.

Including Cambridge, Texas Tech currently has six players from the 2023-24 squad slated to return next year, the others being Darrion Williams, Chance McMillian, Kerwin Walton, Eemeli Yalaho and Jack Francis.

Players are able to enter the transfer portal through May 1.
