Why Study Geography?
If you want to change the world in which we live, you must first understand it, and this is exactly what Geography allows you to do. The course covers a mixture of physical and human Geography topics and explores how they are interconnected. With this knowledge you could be the one to change mankind’s future and save our planet from destruction.
Studying Geography gives you the opportunity to explore some of the big issues facing the world today, and in particular how we manage these issues. You will have the opportunity to study some of the inequalities that plague us and consider how they can be overcome. Geography is a highly valued subject among universities and employers and is regarded as a facilitating A Level.
