Geography is a key subject in a world where globalisation increasingly puts pressure on physical spaces, cultures and scarce resources. As a bridge between the sciences and humanities, the physical and human aspects of the subject allow students to acquire elements of both scientific and socioeconomic methodologies to help unpick the complex interaction of processes that shape our world. Geography also has an applied element: seeing how human intervention affects the environment helps decision-makers in planning and development at a variety of geographical scales. Students research, discuss, analyse and form a range of opinions, using data from an exciting array of media such as maps, Geographical Information Systems, photos, videos, and podcasts.
