Geography
Geography is a rich and complex discipline involving two key
dimensions:
the spatial dimension – where things are and why they are there
the ecological dimension – how humans interact with
environments. This enables students to explain patterns, interpret,
analyse and evaluate consequences and contribute to the
management of physical, social, cultural and built environments.
