Pip is raised in a little place by his older sister and her husband Joe. One night he meets a villain who he brings some food. He gets his education at Mr. Pumblechook who sends him to Miss Havisham. This is a very old, strange lady, who lives in the dark with a very beautiful girl. Pip falls in love to her. But she thinks he isn't a gentleman. Then a lawyer appears who says that some anonymous benefactor wants Pip to become a boy of Great Expectations and therefore he has to go to London to become a gentleman. In London, he becomes best friends with Herbert Pocket, who wants to have an insurance company. His benefactor turns out to be the criminal who he once brought some food. Heavily disappointment, and feeling mere hate against his benefactor, he gets into debts and only by intervening of Joe he gets out of jail. Pip sets himself to honest work to pay his debts. Meanwhile Estella, whose father was the villain, has married Pips enemy Bentley Drummle, but he treats her badly and after his death Pip and Estella are reunited.

Iets met aardrijkskunde studeren?
Oriënteer je dan goed want elke opleiding heeft z'n eigen specialisme. Heb je in A'dam of Utrecht nog niet de juiste opleiding gevonden? Kijk dan ook bij Wageningen University. Daar combineer je aardrijkskunde met technologie of economie. Bijvoorbeeld: hoe kun je de zeewering versterken tegen overstromingen? Je doet dus meer met aardrijkskunde.
