GEOGRAPHY
What does the course involve?
The GCE Geography course gives a strong foundation for understanding the two main themes of the
subject: Human Geography and Physical Geography. Between them, they’re what make our planet
function.
Human Geography deals with how people and the environment interact. It also looks at how people
and groups move and live in the world around us. For example, students learn about issues seen in
the papers and on the news everyday, including issues of sustainability and population pressures.
Physical Geography is all about the scientific aspects of our world, with an emphasis on how we can
manage them. It debates the impacts of the environment on humans and looks into the future of the
planet as we know it.
The end result of studying Human and Physical Geography is that students have a better
understanding of how mankind and the Earth work together. And it’s not all theory either. Students will
need to visit places of geographic interest and get involved in fieldwork.
