As Earth grapples with the threat of global warming and climate change, Geography and Environmental Science graduates are in increased demand as we look to understand population growth, sustainability and a dwindling lack of natural resources.
Because geography is an interdisciplinary course, mixing and matching your interests with core subjects is simple. Early modules will include Land, Water and the Environment, Risk and Resilience, and Living With Environmental Change. Later in the course, students can focus on specific areas of study, including Political Geography, Migrational Development, and Cartography.
Fieldwork is a core part of a Geography degree, and students are expected to participate in real-world learning in Ireland and overseas if they wish. This can be data collection, urban planning, or connecting society and the human landscape.
Many geography graduates have progressed to research, planning, and business development roles across the public and private sectors. The transferable nature of the skills gained on the course meant that many students also go on to careers as teachers, environmental consultants, and tour professionals.
Most geography degrees require prior geography, biology, maths, or physics qualifications.
Please note that entry requirements vary for each university.
