"This is a great age for geography. Very big questions - climate, poverty, disease, migration, water, energy, biodiversity - all demand geographical analysis, as do specific national issues in the UK, like housing, social deprivation, flooding and regional development. As the population grows, and with pressures on the Earth's systems increasing, geography has never been so important." Nicholas Crane (former RGS-IBG President). Geography helps you to make sense of the world around you. Whatever your passion for the world - fascination with landscapes or concerns about sustainability - geography will provide you with knowledge and transferable skills that will reward you personally and advance you professionally. In the Geography Department at RHS we aim to make the subject hands-on, relevant and fun. We enjoy building relationships with each geography cohort, known as our 'geo- gurus' and throughout the two-year course we offer three exciting fieldwork opportunities to Southwold, Somerset & Devon and Iceland. Paper 1: Physical Geography (2h 15m exam - 30%) Water & Carbon Cycles and Insecurity, Coastal Landscapes and Change Tectonic Processes and Hazards Paper 2: Human Geography (2h 15m exam - 30%) Superpowers & Globalisation, Regenerating Places, Health, Human Rights and Intervention Paper 3: Synoptic Themes (2h 15m exam - 20% ) Place-based context that links to the three synoptic themes (players, attitutes and actions, futures & uncertainties) Paper 4: Independent Investigation (Non-examined 20%) 4000 word independent research project on a geographical issue of your choice - based around our residential field trip to Somerset and Devon.
Love of the subject and ideally a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE, however, it is not essential to have studied the subject previously.
