Why study geography?

Whether researching a volcano that stops air travel in its tracks, deciding where to locate a wind farm, or using geographical information systems (GIS) to help locate a business, the work of geographers across the world is as diverse as it is compelling. Often the top media stories of the day are underpinned by geography whether its crime statistics, the spread of disease, development (both local and international) or sustainability, to name just a few. Geographers specialist knowledge and ability to understand issues from a breadth of different perspectives means they are highly sought after in the workplace. And in a world where much of our information technology is location-based, from postcodes to satnavs, GIS has grown rapidly to become an essential tool in business organisations and government. The result has been more opportunities for geographers at a time when competition for jobs is higher than ever before. Across the UK, more than 90 universities offer degree courses in geography at undergraduate, Masters and PhD levels. Among these are some of the leading geography departments in the world, which attract students from around the globe. Students from a wide variety of backgrounds and qualifications study geography, both full- and part-time, with courses lasting three years in England and Wales, and four in Scotland. The latest National Student Survey confirms the benefits of studying geography in the UK, with courses in the subject achieving some of the highest results for student satisfaction. The range of options in geography is large and constantly developing. Single honours degrees in geography stress different dimensions of the natural and social sciences and humanities. Joint degrees allow the subject to be combined with, for example, economics, business, chemistry or tourism. Finally, theres a range of more specialised degrees from which to choose, including climate change, international development, geohazards, and computer-based mapping and GIS. Most programmes offer opportunities for students to get out in the field and collect their own data. You might want to explore the role of tourism in a developing economy or how lake sedi-

ments provide evidence for previous changes to our climate. Each course has a slightly different emphasis, and its worth taking the time to explore the full programme of each potential course to make sure that its right for you. The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) can help you to make your choices, and we are constantly updating and developing resources that support anyone with an interest in studying for a degree in geography. Whether youre still deciding if its the subject for you, or choosing where best to study once youve made that decision, go to our website to learn more. There youll find the following: The careers brochure Going Places with Geography (www.rgs.org/goingplaceswithgeography) highlights a range of careers and opportunities in which geography graduates flourish, whether using subject-based or transferable skills. From working in the City to conservation, geographers are highly employable, and the diversity of employment opportunities is reassuring in times of economic uncertainty; The Study Geography web resource (www.rgs.org/studygeography) provides information on university courses, how to apply, guidance on key issues to think through when choosing your programme, and advice on writing a strong application; And information about becoming one of our Young Geographers (www.rgs. org/younggeographer). Join up, and youll receive your own monthly copy of Geographical, free entry to our lectures, discounts and special access to online learning resources. Whatever your passion in the world, fascination with the environment or concerns about inequality, geography can provide you with the knowledge, experience and transferable skills that will reward you personally and advance you professionally. Its a subject that reveals the worlds people, places and environments while also giving you a hand in shaping their future.

Andy Mellor, senior remote-sensing scientist, Australia

After graduating in 2002 with a BSc from Aberystwyth University, Andrew moved to Melbourne, where he completed a Masters in geospatial information, before working for a multinational environmental consultancy for a year. After that, he decided to join a much smaller consultancy that specialised in environmental- and social-impact work for big infrastructure projects in Laos and Vietnam. There was a fair amount of social stu involved in managing the oce(s) out there conducting household surveys and that kind of thing, Andrew says. It was really interesting I got to go out into some pretty wild areas. Since returning to Melbourne, he has worked for the Department of Sustainability and Environment conducting remote sensing in a new unit that was set up to monitor the state and extent of the forests of Victoria particularly after the devastating bushres there last year. The forests of Victoria are quite sizeable, covering around eight million hectares, says Andrew. Australia really lends itself to using satellite imagery because its so huge it just wouldnt be feasible to use traditional aerial photography or mapping techniques that work well in parts of the UK or Europe. A highlight of Andrews geography degree was working as a eld assistant with some postgraduate researchers in the Arctic at the end of his rst year. It was great we spent a few weeks camping at the end of a glacier in Svalbard. But what Andrew particularly liked about the degree was the exposure to so many dierent topics. When youre coming out of school, geography is great because it gives you exposure to so many areas, he says. I think its important that people dont feel pressured to specialise too early. Its far better to be opened up to lots of social and scientic subjects and see where it leads you and where your interests lie.

Rachael Fordham, Royal Meteorological Society

Originally from Halifax in West Yorkshire, Rachael Fordham studied geography as part of a Bachelor of Science at Liverpool, graduating in 2008 with a rst-class degree, before going on to study for an MSc in applied meteorology. Choosing to study geography at university was an easy choice for me, she says. I loved the subject throughout school. The varied nature of the discipline can take you in many directions over the course of the three-year degree. Since completing her MSc, she has been working at the Royal Meteorological Society (RMS), rst as its interim head of education and now as its public engagement programme manager. Ive worked on various projects, including work with the RGS-IBG and the British Council, she says. Ive run events at various childrens science festivals in Aberdeen, Manchester and Cheltenham, and I was fortunate enough to present RMS research at the American Meteorological Society Conference in Atlanta this year. I also developed an educational website aimed at children and schools (www.metlink.org) and am now working on the Societys new venture, www.theweatherclub.org.uk, which launches this year. Moving away from home and starting a degree can be a daunting prospect, Rachael says, but one about which she had no regrets. Choosing geography at Liverpool was one of the best decisions of my life, she says. It gave me a good foundation for my current career, as well as giving me the chance to develop professionally and make friends for life.

Ian Clayton, ood forecaster for the Environment Agency

Having come from solid geography stock, opting to study the subject at Loughborough University (graduating in 2001) may have seemed pretty much inevitable for Ian Clayton. I always enjoyed geography, and it was the subject I excelled in at school, he says. My dad was head of geography at Streetley High School at the time, so maybe his passion for the subject rubbed o a little on me. Early on in Ians undergraduate degree course, it became clear where his interests and subsequent career path lay. During my rst year, I found a real passion for physical geography, particularly atmospheric processes, the weather and impact on the ground, he says. So he tailored his second and third year as much as he could towards these areas, and joined a week-long eld course in the Swiss Alps studying dendrochronology, water pollution in Alpine rivers, and glaciers. I even got to go inside a glacier, says Ian. It was awesome. After graduating, he took a year out and

then completed an MSc in applied meteorology and climatology at the University of Birmingham. He is currently a technical specialist in the Environment Agencys Flood Forecasting Team in the Midlands. This role mainly involves monitoring prevailing weather and catchment conditions using more than 200 level gauges in the Severn and Trent basins and using oodforecasting and hydrodynamic models, he says. These models, which can be run every hour, can predict the risk of ooding between 48 hours and ten days ahead, and we use this information to provide ood forecasts to the public, businesses and the emergency services. Without this degree, I wouldnt be doing a job for which I have a passion, interests me and that I love so much.

Michelle Brooks, studying for a PhD

Sri Lankan-born Michelle Brooks has lived in England since she was ve, but after the tsunami in 2004, took her husband and two children (now nine and 12 years old) to Sri Lanka to work in the emergency aid sector. The fact that she witnessed, at rst hand, the devastating eects of such a large-scale natural disaster was a big motivation in her decision to study geography at university.

After the disaster, I had all sorts of questions about how these sorts of things come about, as well as the enormous human impact, she says. I was determined that in the future I would possess the necessary skills to do more and to make a sustained dierence. She came out of the emergency aid sector and joined Bath Spa University as soon as she returned, graduating as a mature student with a rst-class BSc geography degree last year. Studying full time with a family was tough, but my husband was really supportive, and I think it sets a good example to my kids, Michelle says. In my nal year, I specialised in conducting research that explores belonging among rst-generation Muslim women in Britain. Many struggle with literacy and language skills, and hence cant engage with government or academic social research. After completing a PhD at the University of Reading, which she starts in October, she is planning to continue to work with marginalised women and children in an international migration policy context. Geography is the perfect platform to really consolidate all of your knowledge and put that into an academic context, she says. It covers pressing and topical issues that people are talking about in the pub or at a barbecue. Its such an interesting and broad subject.

Simon Hepher, training to be a chartered surveyor

Fresh out of Royal Holloway, University of London, Simon Hepher graduated with a BA in geography last summer. I love geography and have a particular interest in cities how they developed, how they are the way they are today and so on so property has always really interested me, says Simon. After two internships (one at a development company and another at a property-investment rm), he applied for a Masters in real estate. I start a graduate role in September with DTZ, a very large international property rm, but will have to spend two years in practice before I become a full chartered surveyor. Although lot of people in property have studied geography, according to Simon, that wasnt the main reason he chose it at university. I suppose I wanted a well-rounded degree that gave me loads of insight into dierent areas, he says. Its not only about essay writing, but it also dealt with numbers and gures, which made me feel that I could do anything I wanted afterwards. Indeed, before graduating, his career was set to take a very dierent path. My friend and I set up our own newspaper and student media company at Royal Holloway called the Founder. By the time I left, it had made around 35,00040,000 through advertising. A contact who ran a department at the Telegraph was keen for Simon to get involved in media sales and the business side of publishing at the paper, but once the credit crunch hit and all budgets were cut, the opportunity disappeared. Its all things that could have been, but Im really happy with the way things have turned out Im looking forward to a career as a chartered surveyor and am convinced that the skills you gain through a geography degree really do make you versatile.

Rob Lilwall, adventurer, speaker and author

Rob Lilwall switched from a degree in biology to a BA in geography at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 2000. I thought it was a brilliant course as it was full of hard thinking about real issues in the real world, he says. After graduating, he had a gruelling but fascinating stint as a door-to-door salesman in California, before completing a PGCE at the University of Oxford and becoming a secondary school geography teacher. It was a tough job, especially controlling the kids, but I certainly never got bored. Two years later, he decided to go on an adventure that was to last a total of three years and take him all over the world. I bought a one-way plane ticket to northeast Russia, ew there with my bicycle, and then spent the following three years trying to cycle back home again, says Rob. Along the way I camped at 40C in Siberia, got lost in jungle in Papua New Guinea, and became very scared while riding through Afghanistan. On his return, he wrote a book about his experiences. National Geographic also made a TV series from his video footage, and he gave motivational lectures in schools and to companies around the country. I have now moved to Asia, where my wife and I are setting up a support and fundraising base for the street children charity, Viva, which is something about which were both very passionate, he says. The combination of thinking skills and global knowledge that I acquired while studying geography has certainly stood me in good stead for every one of my jobs so far. If youre interested in thinking hard about some of the most pressing issues in the world today, I would denitely recommend studying geography at university.

Robin Wilson, future university lecturer

One new graduate set to make waves in the academic world of geography is Robin Wilson, who graduated in July with a rst-class geography BSc from the University of Southampton, achieving the highest mark in his year. He has recently presented his dissertation work at a conference, and has submitted a paper based on it to another. But he almost opted to study computer

science instead after spending a Year in Industry working for British Energy, writing software to control Sizewell B nuclear power station in Suolk. Im still not entirely sure why I chose geography, he admits. I think the things that really appealed to me were the subjects breadth, the way that it can be linked to computer science through things such as GIS and remote sensing, and also the real science behind it it tells you how the world works. For Robin, the best thing about the course was discovering so many fascinating things about the world. I had never done anything before on aeolian systems areas where sediment is transported by the wind, such as sand dunes; remote sensing using satellite imaging to nd out useful information about the Earth; or GIS computer mapping and geographical analysis. And it would appear that the degree has really increased his thirst for knowledge. Im just about to start a PhD investigating how the complex and chaotic systems within remote sensing can be understood and modeled, focusing particularly on atmospheric correction that is, removing the eect of the atmosphere (which essentially makes the colours come out wrong in the image). This is a dicult, but very important procedure in remote sensing. After that, he plans to share his knowledge and teach geographers of the future as a university lecturer.

Liam Dutton, BBC weatherman

What I love about geography is that its so diverse and has something to oer just about everyone, says Liam Dutton, who graduated from Swansea University in 2002 with a geography BSc. It gives such a huge perspective on the world, whether its climate change or the problems facing rapidly growing developing countries. The scope and scale of the geographical world and its near-endless opportunity for study and exploration just excites me. Liam is a BBC broadcast meteorologist for the Met Oce, based at the BBC Weather Centre in London. He broadcasts the weather on TV, radio and online to an estimated audience of 76 million people across the UK and around the world. Its a great job as I get the chance to communicate a subject that I love so much, says Liam. Ive no doubt that a degree in geography has helped me to get to where I am today. It has opened my mind to the world around me and has given me a great perspective on so many dierent things. But what would he say to the sceptics who think that geography is too broad for its own good? Geography sometimes gets a bit of stick for being a subject that some people consider to be an easy ride, he says. I couldnt disagree more. Yes its a broad subject, but

thats the beauty of it. You get to sample whats out there and then specialise in the eld that interests you the most. The applied nature of geography as a subject is what makes it so interesting.

Paul Wood, environmental risk manager

After gaining a geography BSc from the University of Glamorgan in 2008, which is deemed to be the top university in Wales for geography by the Guardian University Guide, Paul Wood went straight on to complete an MSc in environmental conservation management before becoming an environmental risk manager. The best thing about geography is the opportunities it presents to visit places you would have never have dreamed of visiting, says Paul. Actually getting out into the eld to collect data is a compulsory part of your coursework, which is great. During his second year at Glamorgan, he visited Sicily to study volcanology, working on Europes largest active volcano, Mount Etna, as well as one of the worlds most active volcanoes, Stromboli. Witnessing a volcano erupting was amazing, he says. He also visited Honduras and Indonesia during his course to study tropical ecology, looking at rainforests and reefs, which was a oncein-a-lifetime experience, he says. If youre outgoing and enjoy travelling, meeting a variety of people and working in a variety

Dr Tom Macmillan, executive director, Food Ethics Council

Currently executive director of a charity, Dr Tom Macmillan completed a PhD at the University of Manchester after graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in geography in 1998. I run the Food Ethics Council, a charity that acts as an honest broker in controversies about food for instance over genetic modication, obesity, and food miles, Tom says. We do lots of research and policy analysis, publish reports and a magazine, and run events. We recently won the BBC Food and Farming Award for being the organisation that has done most to increase our knowledge and understanding of good food and the vital role it plays in our lives. For Tom, geographys mix of human and physical aspects was a winning combination, helping him to get where he is today. Im always grateful that my degree gave me a bit of a head for science, as well as for the social research that I ended up making my career in. I dont think theres any other degree that gives you the same grounding in both, while being so plugged into the big issues of the day, from climate change to health inequalities. While many students nd the idea of completing a dissertation a bit daunting, Tom found it to be the most enjoyable part of his undergraduate course. My dissertation was about wolves being reintroduced in Italy, where I grew up, he says. I enjoyed planning my own project and interviewing farmers and scientists to nd out why they were at loggerheads over these wolves. It got me hooked on research. The whole course instilled a critical interest in the politics of the social and natural sciences, both of which are crucial to my job today. Theres no subject I would rather have studied.

of conditions, and are looking to get more out of your degree than sitting in a library writing essays all the time, then a geography degree is the best choice. Paul is currently putting the knowledge and skills that he has built up to good use with a contaminated-land consultancy called Geo Environmental Management, which specialises in the control and remediation of liquid pollution. My job now is very varied and every day is dierent, he says. I have to make lots of site visits to collect data, use computer modelling and write reports, so Im continually drawing upon the skills gained throughout my degrees. Without geography, I would probably be stuck in a nine-to-ve oce job doing something that I hate.

Lauren Smith, local council town planner

During the second and third years of a geography BSc course at St Marys University College in Twickenham, Lauren Smith, who graduated last year, was able to build up some signicant work experience that then led her seamlessly into her rst proper job. In the second year, I undertook a work placement, moving about throughout Bexley Councils planning departments to get an idea of how town planning works, Lauren says. Then the council asked me if I would like to go back to do my third-year placement. This time, I was given more responsibility and a project of my own to concentrate on. After Lauren had graduated, the council invited her to an interview for a temporary position as an information and consultation ocer, covering maternity leave, which is what she is doing now. I dont think I would have thought about doing a placement in town planning if it wasnt for this degree, says Lauren. The eld trips were always really enjoyable we went to Malta in our second year to do a project on noise pollution, and to Grenada in the Caribbean in our third year, studying colonialism in the landscape. And the most useful and important skills gained from a degree in geography? Probably analytical skills, she says. I think my analytical skills are a lot stronger now, after all the debates and discussions that we had throughout university it made me think about things in a lot more detail. A degree in geography can give you a really good, rounded knowledge base as long as youre prepared to work hard.

Zane Sennett, Red Arrows display pilot

Im a display pilot in the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, otherwise known as the Red Arrows, says Flight Lieutenant Zane Sennett, who graduated in 1998 with a BSc in geography from the University of Birmingham. I always knew I wanted to go into a ying career, but it wasnt until university that I denitely decided that I wanted to be in the RAF. Like many geography graduates, Zane particularly liked the exibility and broad nature of the subject. I ended up doing a good mixture of human and physical, and I did my dissertation on ying and ight frequency and the weather, so I was also able to combine my ying interest in that, he says. The course modules about meteorology were also particularly relevant to his career with the RAF. Although we attend meteorology courses as part of our training, my background in geography really helped, Zane says. When youre ying, you have to have as much knowledge about the weather conditions as possible. Before joining the Red Arrows, Zane spent two and a half years completing his initial ying training with the RAF, going on to become an instructor on the British Aerospace Hawk: the RAF Advanced Jet Trainer. Between 2006 and 2008, he also completed four tours in Afghanistan, ying Harriers the RAFs frontline war jets. He joined the Red Arrows at the end of 2008. The Red Arrows demonstrate the high standard of the RAF and mirror the important work that we do overseas, says Zane. I think this is pertinent right now, considering the big commitments we have over in Afghanistan and Iraq. Interestingly, three members of the current Red Arrows team studied geography at university, says Zane. Maybe geography has helped us to know exactly where we are in the country when were ying!
