Geography is becoming an increasingly relevant subject as pressing issues of resource management and climate change dominate the media. Geography students will look to investigate these issues in depth and consider possible solutions to these global challenges. Students will begin the course by developing their understanding of global hazards, focusing on tectonic and hydro-meteorological events. They will consider the difficulties nations face in attempting to manage their increasingly vulnerable populations and reduce the economic burden of coping with disasters. We also tackle controversial issues such as fair trade, inequality in development and the growing concerns of a rapidly rising population. Geography equips students with a broader outlook on complex world issues. We aim to encourage pupils to develop their own opinions and raise awareness of sensitive issues such as inequality, conflict and development.
