The ability to view issues from a wider perspective means Geography can usefully be combined with other Science or Arts subjects. Thus, the flexibility of geographers keeps them in demand for a much wider range of careers than prescriptive subjects can offer. Geography has been defined amongst the key “facilitating” highly regarded subjects in a guide compiled by the Russell Group (20 leading UK universities).
