Geography

Course summary

Geography is the study of Earth’s landscapes, people, places and environments, quite simply, about the world in which we live. So the issues we study are relevant to you and your future. If you want an informed opinion about current issues from global warming to the pensions crisis, the Israeli Palestinian conflict to the future of the NHS; this is the subject for you! Geography links to science through Physical Geography, the arts through Human Geography and maths through statistics. What’s more, the skills you learn through Geography are on the top of any employer’s tick list. It really is the perfect subject to give you flexibility and diversity!
