Course Overview

This course provides the flexibility to allow you to explore and understand the issues and environments that you care about. You can develop specialisms in distinctive areas of human geography (e.g. the principles of sustainable practice, geopolitics, and the role of digital technology in shaping places) but also, if you wish, incorporate complementary elements of physical geography.

The knowledge, skills, and understanding you will gain during the course will allow you to pursue a wide range of careers. Our graduates work in professions across a range of sectors, including environmental management, consultancy, teaching, town planning, renewable energy, sustainability, flood risk management, and surveying. Some of our graduates continue their studies and go on to gain PhDs, Master's degrees, and professional qualifications.

We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, and extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications, and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.

Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.
