Our Geography and Geology degree programmes cover a wide range of key graduate skills. These skills are widely recognised by employers and will help you get the career you want.

With these skills, you will be better equipped for a wide variety of employment opportunities, or to continue studying and researching for a postgraduate or professional qualification.

You can improve your employability prospects with an optional, work-based learning module in your second year. This module provides you with a professional setting in which you can apply the knowledge and skills acquired in lectures, workshops and practical classes, while simultaneously extending and refining your knowledge and skills, over and above the experiences provided through the mechanisms of fieldwork and dissertation work.

The department has a close and effective relationship with the University’s dedicated Careers Centre. Careers workshops are also delivered in all three years of our degree programmes. These cover getting part-time work, volunteering, networking and applying for internships and graduate jobs.

Our Careers and Employability Week has been designed to help you make the jump from degree study to employment or further study. Content is delivered by department staff and the Careers Centre with assistance from E3i. In these sessions, you will learn about career planning, management and the world of work.
