Professional Studies
Division 4 is called Professional Studies because it includes all of the subjects that will prepare you for life in the corporate world.
Combining subjects like Business Studies with Accounting or Economics will give you a strong idea of how businesses operate and interact within their own markets and throughout the country as a whole. These are practical and academic subjects that will require you to problem solve and apply your knowledge to real-life situations.
Geography is within this division because it opens up a wealth of professional opportunities and career paths. There is no fixed path for a geographer and potential careers include town planner, conservationist, surveyor, estate manager, cartographer, aid worker, estate agent…
