Geography

Course summary

Geography is a wide-ranging academic subject (spanning the arts and sciences) that opens up many options for future study. It is highly valued by universities as an A-level choice and geographers are sought after by employers. Geography teaches students to think holistically and equips them with the skills to analyse issues effectively. It is also contemporary; students are engaged with the social, environmental, political and economic issues that are playing out on news screens. Issues of climate change, geopolitics, migration and global disease are some of the pressing issues that are covered in detail, allowing students to understand and contribute to global debate. Geography’s relevance is easy to understand, and students are motivated by its wide-ranging appeal.
