Career opportunities
Recent graduates in French have gone on to work in areas
as diverse as secondary and university teaching, arts
administration, translation and interpreting, diplomacy, tourism,
publishing, and investment banking. Increasing numbers of
graduates go on to take further postgraduate courses in areas
such as law, marketing and business. The combination of an
arts degree and a more vocational or professional programme
of studies has proved to be highly attractive to prospective
employers.

Geography (TSM) cannot be studied as a single honor
course. It must be combined with one other subject within
the two-subject moderatorship (TSM) programme. TSM is
a joint honor programme. An honors degree is awarded in
both subjects.
For subjects that combine with Geography see page 92.
Alternatively, Geography can be studied through the
general-entry Science programme – TR071. After two
years of general science study, students may opt to
specialise in Geography for their third and fourth years.
For special entry requirements to TR071 – Science see
page 139.
Geography may also be studied with Political science,
see page 83, or as part of the single honor course Earth
sciences (TR077), see page 161.
Why study Geography?
Geography is truly interdisciplinary as it spans a broad spectrum
of the social, biological, informational and physical sciences. As
the world becomes interconnected geographers are well placed
to bring their understanding and skills to bear on social and
environmental issues. An important attribute of geographers,
and one that is highly regarded in the workplace, is their ability
to combine multidisciplinary knowledge with a wide range of
transferable skills, including critical thinking, report-writing,
numeracy and IT-literacy. These can be applied to careers
which directly incorporate a geographic dimension, such as
environmental consultancy or urban planning, and to wider areas
such as business and public service.
Course content
The Junior Freshman (first year) TSM Geography modules aim
to provide a flavour of the breadth of the subject, focusing on
materials that are dealt with in greater depth in later years, while
challenging students to integrate the different approaches and
forms of knowledge that characterise the modern discipline of
geography.
