Is a geography degree worth it?
These figures come from an illustrative seed catalogue until HMRC LEO ingest completes — treat medians as directional, not official. Geography graduates in this dataset show 5-year median earnings £25,988 — closer to the middle of the pack for similar cohorts. Employment at ~15 months averages 88% (strong graduate employment rates), and NSS satisfaction averages 78% (satisfaction varies by university). Whether a geography degree is "worth it" depends on your career aim, entry grades, and which university you choose — not the subject label alone.
