What the college says
Geography seeks to understand the modern world and all of its present day human and physical complexities. In Geography we focus on real world topical issues. Geographers study the temporal and spatial distribution of the Earth’s phenomena, processes and features and how humans interact with the environment, both human and physical. Geography is an interdisciplinary subject with a variety of topics, which includes economics, demographics, sociology, tectonics and geopolitics. It is how people perceive our world, how we interact with the world and what the world will be like in the future. If you choose to study A-Level Geography, you should be enthused about the world around you and issues that affect people and the planet.
