Geography BA/bsc (hons) in University of Liverpool, UK

Geography BA/bsc (hons) in University of Liverpool

Our BSc degree addresses important questions about whether the planet’s natural resources are able to sustain an increasing population, how physical earth systems respond to human activity and changing climate, how we manage resources, and how we live with environmental change.

If you are interested in environmental issues and like the idea of addressing problems on global and local scales, then this is the programme for you.

Globalisation, geopolitics, population change, and sustainability are amongst the largest challenges confronting society in the 21st century. Geography enables you to understand these issues and the ways in which they shape the world.

Our degree programmes help you develop expert knowledge and skills to interrogate the range of different approaches to, and perspectives on, these issues, as well as the ability to understand how they interact.

Programme in detail

Many people who take the Geography BSc (Hons) programme choose physical geography modules, which are more scientifically based. However, the full range of human geography modules is also open to you and the flexibility of the degree allows you to shape your own programme of study. This means that you can either specialise in physical geography or study both physical and human geography as part of a BSc degree. You can also take up to two 15 credit modules per year from other subjects so you can maintain an interest in another discipline as part of your BSc Geography degree. We will guide you in your module choice to ensure that you choose modules which complement each other and follow a pathway which will help you to gain skills and knowledge relevant for your future career.

This programme is accredited by the Royal Geographical Society with IBG.

Career prospects

Geography is a subject that bridges the social and physical sciences. Those studying geography develop transferable knowledge and skills which open up a wide range of career opportunities. As a result, geography students have one of the highest rates of graduate employment.

Our Geography degrees are constantly reviewed, in consultation with employers, to ensure that graduates leave with the key skills required to compete in the global workplace. This includes setting you non-traditional assignments, such as writing policy briefs and bringing employers and graduates into the university to meet and advise you. The tutorial system operating in all three years is specifically designed to provide support in the development of key transferable skills and important elements of career planning (including CV and interview skills, internship applications and skills audits, among others).

Recent graduates have embarked on rewarding careers with a broad range of public and private sector organisations. Some are putting their geographical knowledge to direct use working in jobs such as environment assistant for the Environment Agency, ranger, government researcher, resource planner and in business development. Other graduates are putting the transferable skills they have gained into practice in careers such as accountancy, teaching and management, and a significant number join graduate training programmes in major organisations.
