Geography

Course summary

Geography is about understanding the world around us: the physical basis and then how humans use and interact with it. It is about spatial relations: where things are, why they are there and what the consequences are. We look at the world at a variety of scales from the very local to the global. We are interested in economic, social and political patterns and how they interrelate. As such Geography combines very well with many other subjects from giving a human context to those wanting to be Medics and Engineers to a view of the world economy for those in Finance and Business.
