A Level Geography
Without Geography you are nowhere! This is a clear reference to the broad range of skills that the subject encapsulates and for many students this provides balance to their curriculum at A-level.
Possible career paths include environmental consultancy, flood and coastal management, conservation work, civil service, tourism and leisure industries, teaching, town planning, transport planning and disaster management.
“Geography is the subject that holds the key to our future; it has opened my eyes to our changing world and has given me the skills, confidence and motivation to play an integral role in our future.”
