Careers beyond academia

What career options are available to geography PhD graduates beyond academia? This webinar explores the wide range of pathways open to geographers, from policy, government, and NGOs to consultancy, environmental management, and the private sector.

Geography graduates are highly valued for their analytical, methodological, and problem-solving skills, and in this session a panel of speakers will offer advice on how to showcase these skills in your application.

The session will provide practical guidance on identifying opportunities, understanding different career sectors, and presenting your skills effectively to employers.

We will also discuss how to make use of your research experience, fieldwork, and technical expertise when considering pathways beyond academia. There will be time for questions, allowing you to explore specific interests and career ideas.
