Geography explores the intersection of many changes – social, economic, political, environmental and technological – and the varied implications for different people and places. Our courses bring together key perspectives on location, scale, process and spatial variation with skills in research design, analysis, and effective reading and communication. Many modules are assessed by a mixture of exams at the end of the semester and coursework elements through the semester, while some skills-based modules focus on practical coursework. Studies by the Royal Geographical Society show that Geography degrees are an excellent basis for developing the transferable skills and knowledge that many employers value. You will be skilled in communication, problem solving, analysis and interpretation. Many of our graduates pursue Geography-related careers in development or environmental consultancies, government, tourism, planning and teaching. Our graduates are also competitive in other fields such as marketing, finance, management and administration, as well as in obtaining places and funding for advanced MSc and PhD degrees.
