Work experience can help students and early career professionals understand their career aims and what jobs involve, while gaining useful experience in their area of interest. 

The Society is launching a new directory of work experience and internship opportunities for geography students and graduates, which includes opportunities for geographers at school, university and after graduation. 

Browse the directory to find opportunities from a wide range of employers and institutions across different sectors.

If you’re an employer and would like us to include a work experience programme in the directory, please contact us at professional@rgs.org.

The work experience directory complemements the wide range of advice and support we offer for students at undergraduate level and postgraduate students, and support for professionals starting their career via Associate Fellowship.

Find out more about the value of geography in your career.
