University courses
University courses
Search degrees, check A-level, IB Diploma or AP subjects, or follow a pathway from school subjects to a career. None of these tools is an offer of a place.
Explore a pathway
Move between school subjects, a degree and possible work. A link is not an offer and not proof that a degree is enough for a regulated job.
Choose a branch, then a course.
Selected courseGeography
GCSE and IGCSE preparation
- English and mathematics
Often expected at GCSE or IGCSE. Grade thresholds differ, and International GCSEs are not automatically the same as GCSEs.
A-level subjects
Nothing to show for this stage yet.
University courses
- Geography
Geography is often preferred rather than compulsory. Some physical degrees prefer a science.
- Biological sciences
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Marine biology
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Ecology
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Secondary school teacher
Alternative route. Geography can be a teaching subject. Teacher training is additional.
- Meteorologist
Alternative route. Only a physical and mathematical route is close. Many meteorology posts expect physics or mathematics.
- Ecologist
Related, but not enough on its own. Human geography is not ecology. Physical geography may help but is not the same degree.
- Geoscientist
Related, but not enough on its own. Not a substitute for geology.
This is a possible educational route, not an offer of a place and not a prediction of a job. Direct, common, alternative and postgraduate routes are not the same thing.
