What will you do on this course? Students will study a balance of human and physical options. The geography course is intellectually stimulating and relevant to the ‘real world’. It is designed to highlight the main issues and concepts that young adults are likely to encounter in their current and future lives, such that they can make better informed decisions and be sensitive to a wide range of viewpoints and challenges. The syllabus is concept and issues based and enables students to address topics which suit their locality or offer suitable practical experiences such as fieldwork. In Human Geography the students will learn about global systems and global governance, changing places and population and the environment. In Physical Geography the topics are, water and carbon cycles, coastal systems and landscapes and hazards. There is also a Non- Examined Assessment (NEA) which requires students to complete a 4 day residential field trip and produce an independent 3000-4000 word report on the data they have collected.
