Geography

Course summary

Students will cover both human and physical topics. They will be examined with three final papers and an independent investigation. The topics include: Tectonic Processes and Hazards; Coastal Landscapes and Change; Globalisation; Regenerating Places; Superpowers; Human Rights and Intervention; Water Insecurity and Energy Insecurity. Topics will be tested over two papers and then a separate paper will contain three synoptic themes and a resource booklet with information about the chosen geographical issue. 20% of the final qualification will be based on an independent investigation of 3,000-4,000 words from fieldwork undertaken as a group.
