What is Geography? Geography is the study of the world and how humans interact with and within it. In Geography, we look at how people, economies and the environment are interconnected and affected by a diverse range of global and national issues. In a world where populations are booming, there is political instability and uncertainty, and the frequency and intensity of natural hazards are worsening, it is up to Geographers to investigate sustainable solutions to help the planet and its people. Where can Geography lead me? An A Level in Geography opens doors to a range of career opportunities.
