What the college says

‘Studying Geography and the environment is critical to mankind.’ Despite living in an increasingly modern and seemingly manufactured world, mankind will forever rely on the environment. Whether it is the ability to grow crops, or the power to pre-empt natural disasters, the study of our environment and the geography of the planet plays a vital role. By studying Geography, you will gain a greater understanding of the world, the threats to our planet, and the opportunities created by it.

The ability to write extended writing and essays will be developed further during the course.
