The world in which we live is likely to change more in the next 50 years than it has ever done before. Geography explains why and examines how we can prepare for these changes. Geography is about the environments we inhabit and some of the ways we use (or abuse) them. Since Geography is partly a humanities subject and partly a science subject it is ideal for students following a mainly humanities programme who wish to have a small amount of science. Equally it is ideal for science students wishing to broaden their range of interests. You will learn how natural processes shape landscapes and how human activity can change these natural processes. You will explore the concept of place, what makes places unique and why forces such as globalisation and geopolitical pressure can lead to constant changes. During the course you will develop valuable cognitive skills including problem solving, literacy and data analysis; as well as many interpersonal skills like teamwork and communication. You will learn how to undertake field research, from the planning stage through collecting and analysing data to drawing conclusions.
