Introduction
Geography is ideal for those keen to maintain a broad interest in, and understanding of, the world in which we live. At the interface between the humanities and science, it is a social science that examines the way people live, how they are distributed and how they interact with their environment. Study of the essential systematic and technical aspects of the subject creates a platform for considering the major environmental, political, cultural and socio-economic issues facing the developed and developing world. It is an interesting and enjoyable course and the geography department look forward to welcoming you.
