What can I do with Geography?

Where will Geography take you?

​
Employers like people with Geography qualifications because they are usually multi-skilled (see below)

Universities especially like students with A Level Geography, even if they don't intend to read the subject. Geography is one of several 'facilitating subjects'.


Geographers are multi-talented people. We consider how the past influenced the present and how we might shape the future. We are literate and numerate. We have good oracy skills. We are always fair as we present both sides of the argument before reaching our decision. We empathise (consider the views and opinions of others). We are skilled at presenting data in maps, graphs and charts. We have good ICT skills which we use to research and present data. 

This is what Swansea University have to say about the employability skills of Geographers .....
