About this course
Details about course variation options.
UCAS code: L708
In your professional placement year you will learn to apply the knowledge learnt during your first and second years, improve personal and transferable skills, make new contacts and enhance your employability. Work placements allow you to gain experience of a professional workplace prior to graduating and develop your career focus, and are extremely valued by employers.
On this four-year variant of the BA Geography degree you will spend your third year on a self-organised work placement with an organisation relevant to your degree, which we support you to secure. Students have worked with a variety of employers such as the UK Hydrographic Office, Ernst & Young and a wildlife conversation charity in Kenya, undertaking placements both in the UK and internationally.
You will be supported through your professional placement by a programme director who will provide high-quality advice to ensure you get the most from your placement.
The professional placement year counts towards your degree through the completion of your placement and associated coursework. It contributes to your final degree classification, and the words 'with Professional Placement' will appear in your degree title.
During your first, second and final years of study, you will follow the same programme of study as the BA Geography (see Course content).
If you spend a full year on a work placement (in the UK or abroad) you will pay a reduced fee. Find out more in the fees section.
You can apply to BA Geography with Professional Placement directly through UCAS using the code above. Occasionally it is possible to transfer onto this programme from the standard BA Geography, if there are spaces and you have met any necessary prerequisites.
You are responsible for organising your own placement; however, we have established collaborations with local, national and international organisations that you can consider when applying for placement positions.
