    Personal & Medical Circumstances Forms

    The Department of Geography PMC (Personal & Medical Circumstances) form is designed to allow geography students who are experiencing difficulties either in university or in their personal life, that are affecting their ability to engage with their studies, to request the support and consideration of the Department. This system is to be used in cases relating to missed tutorials/practicals and missed or assignments/tutorial work and when students need to request an extension.  

    Over the Christmas holidays, the PMCs will be reviewed on 28th, 29th and 30th December at around 10am.  You can use Moodle to contact your coures lecturers.

    Requesting an academic reference

    Requesting an Academic Reference

    When applying for a postgraduate course, employment or work experience, you will typically be asked to provide an academic reference or the name of an academic referee to accompany your application. When seeking an academic reference from a member of the Department of Geography, students should direct their request to their 3rd Year (GY310B) Tutor or their GY303 Thesis supervisor. Geography ‘Minor’ students should normally seek to get an academic reference from their ‘Major’ subject.

    Students should in NO circumstances put down the name of a Staff member as a referee/one of their referees in an application form without first getting the agreement of the Staff member in question. Staff provide references as a courtesy not as a requirement and it is in your interest to ask someone who knows you and your work well. Remember to contact staff well in advance of the due date - a minimum of 2 weeks in advance during term time and a recommendation of 4 weeks in advance outside of term time. 

    Initial reference requests should be made to the member of staff. If that Staff member has agreed to write the reference, the student should: (a) complete the Reference Disclaimer Form  (b) send an up-to-date copy of their professional curriculum vitae (CV) (c) all relevant details on the course/job that you are applying for and (d) details on how/to where the reference letter should be submitted. See the document “References from the Geography Department” on the MC:GY_03 Moodle page for further information.
