"Geography is a subject which holds the key to our future." (Michael Palin, Former President of the RGS) "Everything has to do with Geography." (Judy Marty, Former Governor of Montana) Geography is a 21st century subject, for students who are interested in the dynamics of the modern world and how the people within are changing it. Recent current events have again highlighted the importance of the subject on a global scale. Geographers are taught to combine the study of natural processes and human interactions, and the subject can provide the vital bridge between 'humanities' and 'sciences'. Descriptive, analytical and evaluative skills are also taught. There are opportunities to experience the subject both in the classroom and through fieldwork as well.
