Geography is not only up-to-date and relevant, it is one of the most exciting, adventurous, and valuable subjects to study today. So many of the world’s current problems boil down to geography, and we need the geographers of the future to help us understand them. Such as Global warming, sustainable food production, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, the spread of disease, the reasons for migration and the future of energy resources are just some of the great challenges facing the next generation of geographers. An A Level in geography is recognized for its academic ‘robustness’ and, most importantly, it also helps young people into the world of work. So many employers prize the knowledge and skills that studying geography can provide, be it knowing how the world works, planning, research, report writing, working in a team, using new technologies, communication skills, and much more. You will find geographers working in a wide range of jobs, from the City to planning, working in the environment to travel and tourism, or in international charities or retail.
