What the college says

This engaging and contemporary course offers an issues based approach to studying Geography. Students explore and evaluate contemporary geographical questions and issues, such as the consequences of globalisation, responses to hazards, water insecurity and climate change. Other topics include: coastal landscapes and change, energy security, regenerating places, superpowers and migration. The content gives students the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of Physical and Human Geography, the complexity of people and environment, helping students become critical, reflective learners. The course also encourages students to make links between different geographical themes, ideas and concepts through synoptic themes which include; players, attitudes and actions, futures and uncertainties. Fieldwork is an important component of the course and students are guided to develop the skills needed to work independently on a geographical investigation.
