Hi, Geography helps you understand the basic physical system that affects everyday life (e.g. earth-sun relationships, water cycles, winds and ocean currents). You can find out where places are, and the physical and cultural characteristic of those places so that we can function more effectively in our increasingly interdependent world, and develop a commitment towards sustainable development. Geography is not a required subject for any field of study. However if you enjoy Geography then it does indicate that you have an interest in this field. If you have an interest geography as a subject is related to a variety of careers. Here are a few related careers fields: science and maths, social sciences and engineering. Curriculum: Map work Resources and Management (soil, water, energy) Climatology Geomorphology Settlement Geography Bio-geography Environmental management Population geography Development geography Economic geography Geographical information systems (GIS)
