"Geography allows us to keep up with what's happening around our community, society and the world. It is not only about learning different places in the world, it's about recognizing the importance of our environment. Learning geography empowers me to contribute to making our planet a better place to live in. Geography is not only about past and present, it's a tool to move forward and prepare for a better future. "

“Geography gives me a glimpse into the reasons behind significant contemporary global issues and the ramifications of human decisions, it enables me to develop my critical thinking skills to also go beyond just acknowledging these issues, and actually think of ways in which they can be solved.”

Geography is a dynamic subject that is firmly grounded in the real world and focuses on the interactions between individuals, societies and physical processes in both time and space. It seeks to identify trends and patterns in these interactions. It also investigates the way in which people adapt and respond to change, and evaluates actual and possible management strategies associated with such change. Geography describes and helps to explain the similarities and differences between different places. These may be defined on a variety of scales and from the perspectives of a different range of actors, with varying powers over decision-making processes.

Within individuals and societies subjects, geography is distinctive in its spatial dimension and occupies a middle ground between social or human sciences and natural sciences. The Diploma Programme geography course integrates physical, environmental and human geography, and ensures that students acquire elements of both socio-economic and scientific methodologies. Geography takes advantage of its position to examine relevant concepts and ideas from a wide variety of disciplines. This helps students develop life skills and have an appreciation of, and a respect for, alternative approaches, viewpoints and ideas.
