Geography careers 


what is geography?

Taken from ucas.com

As a geography student, you’ll study the world and how humans interact with it. It’s largely a science, but you’ll also gain insight into other subjects including politics and sociology.

If you’re interested in studying geography, there are two routes to choose from:

Physical geography: The study of the earth and its natural elements. Volcanoes, earthquakes, atmosphere, climate, landscapes, and erosion. Most of the time, this will be a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree.

Human geography: How we (humans) interact with the world. Economics, tourism, population, globalisation, and more. This will likely be a Bachelor of Arts (BA).

But you don’t have to focus on just the one. You can opt for a combined course.
