Geography is a key facilitator subject which allows you to link elements of Humanities, Science and Social Science. This new course builds on the skills and knowledge gained at GCSE, but is equally accessible to students who did not follow a GCSE course in Geography. Your interest in the world around you and the issues facing our planet will be the main focus of the course through studying the key areas of environmental change and looking at how to manage them. Keys areas of study are: coastal landscapes, changing global economies and settlements, tectonic hazards, environmental management of water and biomes, population movement, oceans, ecological management and African development. You will also have the opportunity to develop a wide range of practical skills through field work visits and personal research both of which will contribute to your final assessment.
