The Geography Department at The Open University has a record of producing innovative research and teaching in both human and environmental geography. The achievements of the Department are reflected and recognized by its Excellent rating in the most recent Teaching Assessment Exercise and by having 55% of its research recognised as being world leading or internationally excellent in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Our courses cover topics such as sustainability, environmental policy, cities and globalisation.
