Geography

Course summary

Geography involves the study of people, places and the interactions that take place between and within them in a range of environments and at a range of scales. You will develop an in-depth understanding of classic physical geography topics such as tectonics and coasts; and human geography topics including globalisation, regeneration and migration. Contemporary critical issues are explored in the subject including water scarcity, the nature of energy security, the role of superpowers and issues associated with globally interconnected societies. A minimum of four days of field work will be completed by all students; this is also when data is collected for your independent investigation coursework.
