Geography is a relevant, hands on subject that helps you to make sense of the world around you. There is a vast variety of topics that are studied across both human and physical geography that help to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Geography will deepen your understanding of geographical processes, the impact of complex people-environment interactions, the dynamic links between places and environments, and develop your ability to use a wide range of geographical investigative skills and approaches. Geographers are also able to demonstrate a range of skills including statistical skills, ICT skills (including GIS), fieldwork, and graphical skills. Geography enables you to become globally and environmentally informed and thoughtful, enquiring citizens. Without Geography, you are NOWHERE!
