What the college says
Geography forms the bridge between the natural and human world and the science and arts disciplines. The diverse nature of the subject engenders broad-minded, deep thinkers who learn from the world around them. Many employers recognise that Geography students have a wide variety of transferable skills ranging from enquiry- based data collection, presentation and analysis of data and the preparation and presentation of reports in written and oral form. Students of Geography are regarded as being skilled in making informed decisions based on a range of real world information. Advanced Level Geography is a highly regarded academic discipline and valuable entry qualification to many higher education and degree courses. It combines well with other subjects such as Biology, Mathematics, Economics, History, Politics, Physics and Sociology and can be useful in a host of jobs, e.g. Land Management and Conservation, Town and Country Planning, Environmental Management and the Professional Services.
