Why do you want to read Geography at Cambridge?

Why Geography: the answer to this I think is the most important answer that will give the interviewers either a good or a bad impression of you. Most of the questions after this, will be shaped heavily on the answer you give to this. Thus, really practice well on this answer and know exactly why this course, especially at Cambridge is what you want to do. This is what I got told by my geography teacher and I tell this to everyone that wants to do Geography; do NOT answer the question by saying 'I really enjoy/prefer physical or human geography'. By doing this, you have automatically neglected 50% of the course and that leads the interviewer to next ask you 'but you do not have a choice first year, so how do expect to interact/learn the two elements of the course if you only prefer one?'. So be careful in your choice of wording- acknowledging your primary interest, but begin with speaking about why geography is unique, cause unlike other degrees, it is interdisciplinary- we have many disciplines within the course. Mention the importance of both physical and human geography and that the two should not be treated separately as substitutes but work alongside each other. I'd advise you to also google the history the discipline- it's really interesting.
