What the college says

There are many different skills gained by studying geography. The course requires research as well as data handling skills to be developed and refined, including map and cartographic skills, production and analysis of graphs, and data sensors. Geography also involves written work so strong literacy and communication skills are required and developed. Field trips are an integral part of geography, so collaborative work in small groups is also important. This qualification enables students to engage critically with real world issues and places, apply their own geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to make sense of the world around them, and to help prepare them to succeed in their chosen pathway.
