most employable. They possess the skills that employers look for. This is because the subject combines a knowledge of science and an understanding of the arts.
Geography graduates were surveyed after their degree courses about their career destinations. The results show:
• 40.6% went into management and administration

Your GCE Geography course gives you a strong foundation for understanding the two main themes of the subject: human geography and physical geography. Between them, they’re what makes our planet tick.
Human geography deals with how people and the environment interact and the way we both exist. It also looks at how people and groups move and live in the world around us. For example, you’ll learn about stuff you see in
the papers and on the news everyday, including issues of sustainability. Physical geography on the other hand, is all about the scientific aspects of our world, with an emphasis on how we can manage them.
Watch the flims below to find out more about what geography can do for your future.
