What the college says

Geography is a forward looking subject that provides you with the opportunities to question the world around you. It is often seen as a bridge between the sciences and humanities enabling you to gain the necessary understanding and skills for a wide range of future careers. Study Geography if you enjoy learning about people and their societies, economies, cultures, and the environments and you are keen to learn and develop a wide range of skills. There has never been a better and more important time to study geography. With growing interest in issues such as climate change, migration, environmental degradation and social cohesion, geography is one of the most relevant courses you could choose to study. Geographers are also highly employable. Whatever your passion for the world - fascination with landscapes or concerns about inequality - geography will provide you with the knowledge and transferable skills that will reward you personally and advance you professionally. Dr Rita Gardner Director of the RGS-IBG
