On Monday and Tuesday this week, Thirds geographers were introduced to geography fieldwork and data collection techniques.

As a follow-up to the trip, classes will examine the significant changes which have taken place in Selly Oak over time, and the information gathered will be used to examine the impact of the decline of industry, the growth of the University of Birmingham and the process of ‘studentification’ in the area.
