A bit about the Aims of this course:
The aims of the Diploma Programme geography course are to enable students to:
Develop
1) a global perspective and a sense of world interdependence 2) an
understanding of the interrelationship between people, place and the
environment 3) a concern for the quality of the environment, and an
understanding of the need to plan and manage for present and future
generations 4) an appreciation for the relevance of geography in
analyzing contemporary world issues and to recognize the need for
social justice.
