Geography

Course summary

Geography is a dynamic and diverse subject which bridges the gap between the Arts and the Sciences. In examining the complex nature of people’s interaction with the environment it encompasses political, economic and demographic studies with an understanding of physical and environmental processes. Geography develops the ability to combine scientific principles with economic awareness, environmental concern and an appreciation of people’s attitudes and values. This gives students a more balanced and holistic approach to understanding the concerns of the world today from a local to a global scale and they become adept in the use of skills and new technologies both inside and outside the classroom.
