You will also have the chance to:

  • Undertake fieldwork to study urban landscapes, potentially in Europe or South East Asia

  • Learn about political and economic change in cities and across societies globally

  • Research human geography using different concepts, approaches, and ways of collecting data

  • Boost your employability by spending a year in employment

  • Draw on the world-leading expertise of your academic tutors to enhance your learning.

    Your future employability is a key priority throughout your studies. Southampton graduates work in a range of careers including public policy, teaching, environmental consultancy, financial services, retail, marketing, town-planning, GIS-related and government advisory roles. 100% of our Geography graduates were in employment or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes 2020/2021).
