This course will excite your mind, challenge your perceptions, and stimulate your investigative and analytical skills. Whilst some of these topics will be new to you, they have been added to reflect our ever-changing world, as well as revisit areas that you will previously have some knowledge of, including hazards, populations, and resources. What would I study? Physical Geography: Water and Carbon Cycles; Coastal Landscapes and Hazards. Human Geography: Global Systems and Global Governance; Changing Places and the Population and the Environment. You will also complete an individual investigation which must include fieldwork of your own choice.
