If you would like to understand our planet and play a positive role in securing its future, Geography offers the knowledge and skills you need to make a difference. Covering human and physical topics, you’ll gain independent research, critical thinking, practical and creative skills – all part of the uniquely broad geographer’s skill set. Supported by dedicated teachers, you will explore relevant, important questions about today’s world. One day we could debate: "Fish and Chips worry caused by curry: Is British identity being changed by globalisation?" and the next we might ask: “How are humans impacting our coastal landscape systems?” From moral philosophy, gritty geology and mathematics, to maps, essays and ethical debate – there is something for everyone in geography. Topics studied range from understanding how tectonic and marine processes shape the Earths’ surface, to debating issues of how migration impacts nationhood and sovereignty. You will also complete a geographical investigation on a topic of your own choosing – gaining independent study skills highly relevant to university study and the world of work. Our enriched learning opportunities can include: Cambridge Geographical Association lectures Presenting at Cambridge Geographical Association student meetings CSARS lectures University of Cambridge events and lectures Teacher surgeries to support your progress
