Course Overview

A Geography degree can open the door to a wide range of careers, including local authority planning, environmental assessment, urban regeneration, conservation, sustainable development, tourism planning, renewable energy, and housing association management. In addition, with the increasing demands of legislation and global environmental policy, there are growing employment opportunities in environmental management and consultancy. A more specialized Geography degree offers opportunities to focus on specific careers involving the natural environment and will equip you with the practical, numerical, and computational skills many employers value.

A degree in Geography opens the door to a wide range of 'general' graduate careers, such as graduate recruitment schemes in business, management, finance, the police service, and the armed forces.

Many of our graduates go on to train to be teachers of Geography. Others go on to further study at Masters or Doctorate level. Studying a geographical subject means looking at a wide range of different topics and learning a broad range of skills that you can take with you into the workplace. For example, you will develop skills in problem-solving, data analysis, report-writing, developing arguments, working independently and as part of a group, and interpreting data.
