      I certainly did! I loved all the different topics that we studied – from hazards and glaciation to cities and population. Geography GCSE is great because it’s really varied – it never gets boring.
      I also liked the practical nature of geography with fieldwork. You might get to go on some exciting fieldtrip adventures to learn about geography first-hand.

    I didn’t much like school, but I liked geography the most, and it was one of the two lessons I got a ‘c’ in my highest grade at the time, I think this is the equivalent of a 4 or something today?? I liked it because it was teaching me about the world which is probably what I knew most about at the time rather than maths and other subjects

    I really enjoyed Geography – learning about people and the environment. There is so much that you can focus on, so the odd topic I didn’t find as interesting. I loved learning about the physical geography: mountains, rivers, coasts. I liked learning about how people interacted with the environment: building cities, tourism. I didn’t like the politics stuff as much.

    I took Geography at A level because I enjoyed learning about it – other subjects I found harder because I didn’t enjoy them so much. I even studied Geography at University because I continued to enjoy it!
