Geography

Candidates with A Level geography have access to a wide range of possible careers and higher education opportunities. Skills that you develop include collecting, analysing and interpreting data, communicating your findings, and developing links between different parts of the subject. Geography graduates are some of the most employable graduates because of their broad skills base and understanding of the world that we live in. Traditional geography careers include: town planner, meteorologist, climatologist, volcanologist, tourism, teaching, civil servant, working in environmental agencies, water and forestry commissions, and resource management. However, being a geography graduate is not restrictive; geography graduates can easily enter other careers, including journalism, business, law, accountancy, banking and insurance.

I think geography is great, it challenges the brain and makes you think about the little things. It’s also so much more than about geography, it contains different elements that blend together for a better more fulfilling experience.  I took A level geography because I enjoyed the learning and the thoughts behind it, it’s a good course that gives you the skills for everything.  The things I have leant in geography can be used in many different areas of my future, for example, I can be more confident and find it easier to think about the reasoning behind certain aspects. It’s also helped improve my English skills and allows you to become a better person.
