Geography complements both Arts and Science subjects due to the mixture of Physical Geography, which requires you to think in a scienti?c way and Human Geography which allows you to think in a more creative and sociological way. Geography provides a range of excellent transferable skills which can be used in further education and career opportunities The skills developed in Geography are highly sought after by both universities and employers and students that go onto take a geography degree are some of the most employable in the workplace. Geography is constantly relevant with news stories focusing on topics such as climate change, our position within Europe, renewable energy and natural disasters.
