Key Course Benefits

* The BSc Geography course has fieldwork embedded at every level, including at least one mandatory residential fieldtrip to enhance their applied geographical skills.* We aim for you to experience international mobility at least once during your studies through a mandatory international field trip. You will be required to contribute to the costs2 of the mandatory international field trip, the precise amount of which will vary year to year and be dependent on location and the availability of University subsidies. The cost of this mandatory field trip is to be confirmed. Please see the course page on the Coventry university website for full details before applying* There is a strong career/employability focus throughout our Geography degree courses, which is manifested in the four-year sandwich degree, where the third year offers the option of a year in industry or study abroad, based on our long experience of organising placements with a wide range of professional contacts.* You will acquire basic capabilities in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), a key skill sought by many employers. All students receive certificates of GIS training on successful completion of an appropriate exercise. These certificates is one of the top 15 skills gaps in the professional environmental sector.  * You will have access to laboratories to develop quantitative analytical skills. You will also utilise the Simulation Centre*, which enables geographical and environmental phenomena to be visualised in a safe setting that allows students to grasp issues and implications.*Please see the course page on the Coventry University website for details.
