As an IB geographer, you will develop your own experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. You will develop an appreciation of, and respect for, alternative approaches, viewpoints, and ideas. The geography course embodies global and international awareness in several distinct ways. It examines key global issues, such as poverty, sustainability, and climate change. It considers examples and detailed case studies at a variety of scales, from local to regional, national, and international. During the course, field trips will take place both locally and internationally. Students will conduct an independent research task relating to a geographical idea of their choice. We are also in the process of organizing a trip to Iceland. To study geography, you do not need a GCSE in geography. You do, however, need an open mind global awareness, and a mature approach to discussing ethical issues. Watching the news daily often helps. As you study geography, you will be equipped with the essential skills needed for university, the workplace, or an apprenticeship.
Grades 9-5 (A*-C) in at least 6 GCSE subjects including Math and English Language or an international equivalent eg. IB Middle Year Programme.
