Why+Study+Geography



The study of Geography is important for the following reasons:
 * It gives the student the opportunity of understanding the complex relationship that exists between population and the environment.
 * It opens up the minds of students to appreciate the developmental issues confronting, communities, nations and the world as a whole
 * Geography offers students a broad range of skills with which to investigate issues they are faced with, with the ultimate goal of prescribing solutions to these problems
 * Geographers also tend to be conscious of resource consumption and issues of sustainability, so that future generations can benefit from them.
 * It offers students the opportunity to appreciate nature through fieldwork investigations, tours/excursions and a better understanding of how the environmental systems operate.

I hope by the end of the course in Geography, the reader would appreciate the changing nature of Geography and the important role it is playing in shaping the 21st Century.
