Geography is about the world we live in and the processes which are shaping it. Geography is concerned with gaining an understanding of the complexities of the modern world and in particular the effects of human activities on the natural world. It requires students to see both sides of an argument by looking at empirical evidence in the form of statistics, maps, photos and of course fieldwork.

Students are expected to develop fieldwork skills including the collection, presentation and statistical analysis of data. Students are also required to plan and complete a substantial independent study/ research project.
