Disaster relief, the climate crisis, diminishing resources, and social inequity: where others see questions, geographers find answers. Our course attracts everyone from the environmentally curious to the ecologically inspired; people who are naturally passionate about how humans interact with the environment, and vice versa. With us, you won’t just learn how the world works — you’ll find out how to make a meaningful difference to it.Delivered at our stunning Brackenhurst Campus, this highly practical degree is packed with fieldwork, trips and opportunities to get your hands dirty. Geography’s a broad discipline, and that’s why you’ll be able to choose what areas of geography you study – your degree, your choice. You could complete an industry placement on the sandwich route, and study in locations such as Australia or Canada as part of our international exchange programme. We’ve built this course around exciting real-world experiences, because we think you should graduate with more than just a qualification.Geography students are prized for their versatility, and the subject has one of the UK’s highest employment rates. You’ll develop an impressive portfolio of technical and transferable skills, becoming a natural writer, and an inquisitive researcher who’s great with data. Our grads work as everything from environmental risk assessors to sustainability consultants, from corporate roles in big multinationals to on-the-ground disaster aid with NGOs. With a great geography degree, your choices are almost endless!
