Why take this A-Level?
Geographers enter a very wide range of career areas and put simply there is no such thing as a geography job, there are jobs that geographers do.
Studying geography provides you with valuable skills and a firm base for life-long learning. Some careers involve using Geography directly such as
town planning, land and water management, tourism and conservation. Moreover, Geography gives students many transferable skills that can be
used in many careers, such as leadership, presentation skills, independence, problem-solving and critical thinking.
