Geography

Course summary

Geography focuses on the study of issues which affect us all; from global warming to migration and conflict over land and resources. You will look at world patterns before trying to understand the human and scientific processes behind these patterns. We then explore the issues in depth. One of the key questions concerns equality (is everyone affected equally?) and who is responsible for solving these problems – should the superpowers do more? You will look at both high-tech solutions and more common-sense approaches and assess what difference these might make to the lives of people on our planet. A compulsory field trip will help you to prepare for your coursework.
