There are many universities offering courses in which geography is or can be combined with another subject, for example, Derby, Keele, Exeter and Newcastle to name a few. Popular subject combinations include geography and geology, biology, economics, business management, politics and planning :smile:

Hi LucyJl,

Plymouth offer the following:

Geography with International Relations
Geography with Ocean Science (very popular - especially as we're right by the sea!)

We also have courses in Geology and Environmental Sciences :smile:

Please let me know if you have any questions! :smile:

Hi LucyJI,

You’re more than welcome! I think this really does depend on where you want to go / what you want to do after your degree. University is what you make of it and extracurricular activities are so important!

You can read our graduate profiles here - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bsc-geography . As you can see, employment prospects are wide and varied after your degree – you really can go anywhere!

In my personal opinion, it’s all about pursuing the minor you feel more passionately about. This will breed a really proactive attitude, which will encourage you to seek out placements and volunteering opportunities which in turn will boost your CV and make you employable for the future :u:

Our Geography blogger Amy is documenting her third year of Uni – you can read it here: http://www.mylifewithplym.com/amys-blog. She is going to be speaking about her experience of taking a placement year soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that. It’s packed full of really useful information :h:

If you have any questions, please do let me know!

You can do joint honours geography with almost anything at Derby! For example: global development, environmental hazards or geology!

Hi LucyJI,

As one of our students already mentioned, at Derby you can combine Geography with a lot of different subjects as a joint honours option depending on your interests - you can find more information about these options here: https://www.derby.ac.uk/undergraduate/geography-courses/geography-joint-honours/ .
There’s also the possibility of studying Global Development as a joint honours course and this programme will develop skills such as advocacy, community relations and project management: https://www.derby.ac.uk/undergraduate/geography-courses/global-development-joint-honours/ .

You can have a look on our website for more information.

If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
