Seperate geography courses

I hope there will be seperate A-level geography courses (i.e. Human geography and physical geography).

The only real purpose of geography is understanding the interface between physical and human factors. The rest is down to specialists ie. economists, politicians, planners, engineers, sociologists, geophysicists, meterologists, ecologists etc. so I doubt that separate courses exist but I'm not certain.

I doubt it, seeing as the whole point (in my opinion) of geography is to understand the interactions between physical and human processes and environments so that we can make better decisions regarding all sorts of issues.

There won't be...if you enjoy physical take geology if you can! Its likely that you'll enjoy it more than A-Level geography which includes human.

I think there should be sperate geography courses and a combined geography course (we have right now). By having seperate geography courses, we can specialise at an early stage. In addition, some people might not like one aspect of geography and like the other one, etc...

I like human geography better. It's much more easier to understand and all that.

Me too

I think it depends on the background you have in your other subjects. I do sciences so I tend to prefer the physical topics more. I really enjoyed the natural hazards unit we've just done.

I really prefer Human Geog, especially economics.
(Getting B/C for Physical, A+ for Human)

Yet I'm doing Sciences - Physics, and Maths.

Go figure..
