There are 3 parts with a range of optional themes. Part 1 world Geographic themes includes Oceans and Coasts, extreme environments, and the geography of food and health. Part 2 is around perspectives and global change including population distribution, Global climate and Global resource. The core theme provides an overview of the geographic foundation for the key global issues of our times. The purpose is to provide a broad factual and conceptual introduction to the geography of population dynamics, climate change and resource consumption issues. Part 3 offers an extension focused on global interactions for HL only. There are three compulsory topics in the HL extension: Power, places and networks, Human development and diversity Global risks and resilience.
Grade 6 or above at GCSE Geography.
The external assessment in geography consists of two examination papers at SL and three at HL. They are designed to allow students to demonstrate their competencies in relation to the geography assessment objectives and specific parts of the geography syllabus, namely the geographic skills, the core theme, the optional themes and, at HL, the higher level extension. The external components contribute 75% to the final assessment at SL and 80% at HL. The internal assessment will, as far as possible, be woven into normal classroom teaching and not be a separate activity conducted after a course has been taught. The internal assessment requirements at SL and at HL are the same. The time allowed is 20 hours and the weightings are 25% at SL and 20% at HL. Students are required to undertake fieldwork collecting primary information and produce one written report that is based on a fieldwork question.
