Geography is a subject that engages directly with important contemporary concerns – such as globalisation, climate change, environmental management and cultural transformation – while allowing you to acquire a range of skills that are highly valued in the marketplace. You will engage with cutting-edge debates during your studies, developing a thorough understanding of the processes that are shaping the future of our planet.

Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards and right from the first lecture. We explain the degree skills which are taught throughout the modules and offer a number of optional employability modules. Exchange programmes give you the chance to gain relevant work experience to help form your future plans. With many employers now expecting extracurricular or voluntary experience, this can prove vital. Our graduates are always in demand for jobs directly related to geography such as environmental management and consultancy, urban and rural planning, GIS and economic development work. They also work in a diverse range of fields beyond the discipline such as engineering, financial and management.
