BSc Population and Geography is a new course, taught from October 2010, and there will no graduates until June 2013. We are therefore unable to provide specific examples of graduate career destinations. However, we have taught BSc Population Sciences (no longer offered) and BA/BSc Geography for a number of years. These programmes share significant similarities and we provide a guide to the career opportunities available here.
An option popular with many Southampton graduates is to undertake further study, to secure qualifications for a particular profession or to ensure that they are strongly placed for employment. We offer postgraduate taught and research programmes in a number of areas.
Southampton has a vibrant postgraduate student community, which provides a broad perspective on research in the social sciences.
