Geography

What are the real threats of climate change? How should aid be managed and what should be done to help developing nations? What are the real issues involved in international migration? These are just some of the highly topical issues you will explore in your geography course. Geography is a broad subject that bridges social and physical sciences. Field trips to rivers, coastlines and city centres will relate your learning to actual situations and are reinforced by visiting speakers from the Environment Agency. You will attend a conference on current geographical issues.
