Applications from mature students, including those with relevant experience but without the required formal qualifications, are welcomed. In most cases such applicants are offered an interview. All successful applicants are invited to visit the Department during an open day, which gives applicants a chance to see the Department at first hand, and to talk in depth to members of staff. Candidates learn about the research and teaching being undertaken, have lunch with current students, and are shown around the College by students. Open days normally take place between November and March, although applicants are welcome to visit the Department at any time.

As befits the wide-ranging nature of the Geography degree and the attractive combination of skills that are developed throughout the course, King's geography graduates have entered a variety of careers. In recent years they have entered accountancy, banking, business administration, the Civil Service, conservation, environmental consultancy, local government, marketing, personnel management, publishing, surveying, teaching and tourism. The high calibre of our students, and their close involvement with research in the Department, has resulted in over a quarter going on to do a higher degree, both here and abroad.
