Course summary

The main focus of both the Higher and Standard Level of the programme is for students to investigate, discover and understand the diversity of the human condition in terms of population, location, distribution and economic situation. There is opportunity for students to study the natural environment and its management for the betterment of mankind on a local, regional, national, and international scale. The course options will enable students to understand and appreciate the link between the economies of different countries and their level of development and social conditions. This will cast light on the part we, as a developed, capitalist, consumer society, play in the ‘global supermarket’.
