What the college says
Geography provides the opportunity to study contemporary issues to provide a unique insight into the dynamic and changing modern world. Contemporary geography engages with the relationship of human populations with the physical environment and with each other. The course is delivered through the strands of physical and human geography but requires students to synthesise their knowledge of both strands in an integrated approach to the subject. The study of geography involves a broad range of skills valued in the workplace and in later life, such as ICT, Geographic Information Systems, graphicacy, statistical analysis and the key skills of teamwork, leadership, problem solving and decision making.
