Geography is attractive to students who have an interest in people and environments and want to learn about the ‘real’ world – past, present and future. It is a discipline of synthesis which combines elements drawn from pure Science with those from Mathematics and Social Science. A Level Geography allows the science specialist to develop important evaluation and literacy skills which will be called upon in practically all professions. The Social Science or Arts based student will develop useful numeracy and graphical skills. Geography avoids the problems inherent in over-specialisation and its holistic integration of knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and values provide a useful background to life in today’s world.
