Welcome to the Department of Geography at Loughborough. We're delighted you've chosen to study here with us and we'll aim to make your time with us as stimulating, profitable and enjoyable as possible. The Department is committed to offering students the highest standards of care and support, and ensuring that both undergraduates and postgraduates play an active role in the life of the Department. We are proud of our traditions of promoting inclusive learning, challenging taken-for-granted assumptions about the way the world works and showing that 'geography matters'. We know that you will be good ambassadors for Geography during your time with us, and hopefully for many years beyond.

So I offer you a warm welcome and hope that the Department can help you fulfill your potential by encouraging you to work hard, play hard and uphold the Loughborough reputation.
