Careers for Geography BSc (Hons)

Studies by the Royal Geographical Society show that Geography degrees are an excellent basis for developing the wider graduate skills and attributes that many employers value: problem solving, IT and communication, analysis, and working with partners. Our students are also successful in securing places and funding for advanced postgraduate degrees.

Equally, many of our graduates build careers in areas that draw directly on the specialist geographical knowledge and skills they develop through their degree. Areas of employment include:

• environmental consultancies
• survey and mapping
• risk analysis
• land and water management
• local and central government
• the geospatial industry, using GIS or satellite remote sensing
