We believe that you should take Geography because it helps you:

• to understand the environment at local and global scales

• to know your world through fieldwork

• to make decisions that balance environmental and developmental concerns

• to develop a wide range of skills such as presenting arguments or map skills

• to use computers and other technology

• to develop your analysis and presentation skills

• to understand other cultures across Asia and throughout the world

• to know where places in the world are without having to use Google

Geography will help you to be more aware of everyday situations and issues faced by the people who live around you and across the world. Geography is a highly topical subject, ever-changing as world events unfold.  Geographers go on to work in a wide range of subjects and follow diverse career paths. Many geographers also choose careers which make use of their transferable skills, these include, information technology, administration and management, the financial sector, marketing, research, and industry and manufacturing.
