Geography 地理

Why do you need to study Geography?

我為什麼要修讀地理科？

Geography aims to provide students with an understanding of the Earth and the modern world. Through examining the inter-relationships among people, places and the environment, Geography helps students to acquire an in-depth understanding of the changing contemporary world in terms of space and environment.

Moreover, the study of geography also provides opportunities for students to develop their general intellectual capacity for lifelong learning and generic skills. The enquiry approach adopted in Geography enables students to develop the important abilities involved in values clarification and value judgments, and equips our students to become geographically informed and inquiring people.
