Feedback from one of our honours student now at TIAS Utrecht Netherlands:
„My four years at SU had shaped my mind and way of thinking [...] I feel that the standard, quality and method of teaching that the Earth Sciences department offers to its student is quite phenomenal”Alp Sean Househam- small.jpg
"I've been fortunate to do some traveling to the Austrian & Swiss Alps recently between my studies and was absolutely blown away by the beauty of them - it was amazing to see all the teachings materialise into real life! (Jaw dropping stuff - see the photo)"
