What the college says

On this course you will study a qualification that enables you to engage critically with real world issues and places, apply your own geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to make sense of the world around you, and help prepare you to succeed in your chosen pathway. Units include, Consequences of Globalisation, Responses to Hazards, Water Insecurity and Climate Change. The course gives students the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of physical and human geography, the complexity of people and environment questions and issues, and to become critical, reflective and independent learners.If you are someone who is environmentally and socially aware, interested in the world around them, current affairs and the human condition, then Geography is a course that you should consider. Geographers understand the links between places and people. They can look at complex systems in a straightforward way. Geography combines well with both arts and science subjects. Geography is highly valued by universities as an A Level choice, particularly for Arts and Humanities degrees, including Law. The Russell Group report published in 2011 names geography as one of the eight facilitating subjects. This is a subject most likely to be required or preferred for entry to degree courses.
