Who is the course for? You will enjoy Geography if you have an interest in and concern for the environment and current affairs and are interested in finding out about travel, new people, places, landscapes and events. If you enjoy studying subjects that are relevant to your own life and experiences and enjoy undertaking practical work as well as work in the classroom, this is a good choice of subject. What can it lead to? Geography can be a good foundation for further study in the humanities and social sciences and can lead to a wide variety of careers. Opportunities include working in international development, e.g. with international Charities, environmental work, estate management, forestry, planning and economic development and teaching. What will I Study? During Year 12, students will study tectonics, coasts, globalization and regeneration. The Tectonics Unit will look in depth at plate tectonics and the physical processes associated with volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, vulnerability to disasters and management of disasters. In the Coastal Unit, the reasons for different coastlines, the influence of sea level change and the management of coasts, are investigated. The Globalization Unit covers the meaning behind and causes of globalization, the key players, influences on culture, closing the development gap as well as ethics and sustainability. The Regeneration Unit looks at the need for and methods of regeneration in both rural and urban locations again this unit will focus on key geographical and fieldwork skills. The units will be assessed through a human and physical exam paper. Both papers require fieldwork knowledge and skills, therefore there are compulsory fieldtrips. How will I be taught? Through lectures, discussion and practical activity including fieldtrips to London Docklands and a residential trip to North Norfolk.
