Career opportunities
We train geographers with a degree in geography who are prepared to understand the geographic laws of fundamental natural, environmental, technical and social phenomena, to develop and apply original professional solutions based on these laws, to present the results and to communicate them to experts and users. Based on the alumni interviews conducted, our graduates with a Master’s degree in geography typically find four types of jobs. (1) Government agencies and municipalities require graduates with multi-disciplinary expertise, initially in a salaried position. (2) Graduates can work with autonomous responsibility in both the public and private sectors, initially as project managers or assistants. (3) With a knowledge of geoinformatics, they may find employment as key implementation staff, especially in companies. (4) Some graduates with a strong geography background may also find their way into universities and research institutes, which is a practical prerequisite for early entry into doctoral studies.
