What the college says

Students should be curious about the world around them and have an interest in current affairs. Ability to self-motivate and carry out independent study is also important due to the coursework component. Geography is a subject that is useful to any student as it encourages students to develop a range of skills including: essay and report writing, verbal presentations; analysing and solving problems, working with statistics, interpreting data and text and presenting data. Students will need to possess a real drive to investigate and evaluate current concerns, for our planet. They will contribute to class discussion with the ability to question ideas and evidence presented and should have the ability to work to a deadline and to read around the subject. There is a high level of statistical analysis and use of data through the course. Geographical information systems (GIS) are utilised through the course to support analysis of space and place.
