There has never been a better time to study Geography! This is a topical and up to date course in which you learn about the Earth’s peoples, environments and societies. It helps you to gain a deeper understanding of an increasingly changing world and develop a practical academic skills base. Geography is unique in combining the social sciences (Human Geography) and the earth sciences (Physical Geography). Geography puts this understanding within the context of real locations. The world in which we live is clearly changing more dramatically and rapidly than ever. Our responsibility and role in that change is therefore more important. Geography explains the changes and helps to prepare people for what may lie ahead. It is a subject about now and the future. Geography gives a balanced viewpoint which is good preparation for the world of work. Employers welcome people with the following attributes: Good communication skills, ability to work in a team, numeracy and literacy, problem solving, spatial awareness, environmental and social awareness. Geography provides them all! Please access the Ripley St Thomas Sixth Form courses section for more information https://ripleystthomas.com/sixth-form/courses/
