Abstract

The recent development of geography in the polytechnics of England and Wales is associated with increased demand for higher education in general, and for courses involving geography in particular. The designation of the polytechnics within the public sector of higher education has rationalized the institutional base for expansion; the University of London external degree system and the Council for National Academic Awards have controlled stand? ards. The volume and character of geographical work in the polytechnics is described with special reference to the number and distribution of full time staff, the nature of existing courses, and the balance between teaching and research. Finally, some of the trends affecting the institutions and the subject are reviewed and the problems and possibilities are assessed against the back? ground of polytechnic policy.
