The course encourages an enthusiasm for geography by exploring contemporary real-world contexts. Students’ geographical knowledge, theory and skills will be enhanced to develop forward-thinking, problem- solving young geographers for the 21st century. At least four days of compulsory fieldwork will be undertaken over two years and a residential 3-day experience will be offered each academic year. The course engages students in a range of topical issues including the dynamic coastal landscape, changing places, tectonics, India, ecosystems, global governance of migration and the oceans and water and carbon cycles. Students are encouraged to become more aware of issues in the news from a local to global scale to understand how processes impact people and places such as the refugee crisis, sea level rise and use of eco systems. They learn to consider different people's opinions and to evaluate the decisions taken by themselves and others from an individual to international organizational level. A Level Geography is well-respected by universities and also by employers as geographers are multi-skilled, able to collect and analyze information, use information and communications technology including Geographical Information Systems and develop creative solutions. Career opportunities are wide-ranging in many sectors including business, the environment, planning and ICT.
