[Keele Geography Courses @KeeleGeogs]

Yes indeed! Physical Geography at Keele University is number one, nationally, for student satisfaction. The photo Keele used to proclaim the fact in this tweet is actually from the Geology field trip, not ours, but our trips are great too. Get in touch if you'd like to know more!

[NSGGA @NStaffsGA]

Nice buffet and displays afterwards as well 👍

[NSGGA @NStaffsGA]

Fantastic and interesting talk about metal exploration and exploitation for our 70th Anniversary Christmas social. Thank you @AndrewBGS
