What the college says

You will find Geography is a unique, exciting and valuable subject. So many of the world’s current problems, conflicts and natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis or the spread of disease, are just some of the great challenges that face us and need the geographers of the future to help us understand. You will be able to get involved and study a rewarding and relevant subject which allows you to develop a wide range of skills from collecting data in the field to understanding the attitudes and values of decision makers. You will take part in a variety of river, coastal and urban-based fieldwork, which is a fantastic chance to see geography come to life and gain hands-on experience seeing real-life case studies. You can choose to conduct fieldwork from any aspect of the Geography course that you find interesting. We currently run a trip to Iceland to develop your understanding of plate tectonics and have the opportunity to develop your fieldwork skills. Beyond A level and careers, geographers are highly sought after by employers and contribute substantially to the applied management of resources and environments. There is a wide variety of career options and management positions, as well as entry to law, architecture, civil engineering, medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. In addition, there are many new career opportunities linked with sustainability, climate change, disaster, risk management and carbon neutral economies.
