Geography
Course summary
Geography is the study of the land and the spatial relationships and interactions on it in both the human and physical environment. This year we will be following the new Edexcel specification. In the first year there are two areas of study. Area of study one is ‘Dynamic Landscapes’ which investigates tectonic processes along with coastal change. Area of study two is ‘Dynamic Places’ which investigates globalisation and regeneration at a variety of scales. In the second year there are two further areas of study. Area of study three is called ‘Physical Systems and Sustainability’ in which issues such as global water and energy security are investigated. The fourth area of study is called ‘Human Systems and Geopolitics’ in which the changing nature of global superpowers and how global development is linked to human rights.
