QUALIFICATION GCSE Geography

CONTENT This course aims to make Geography relevant and accessible to students whilst also developing the key skills necessary for Geography and the wider world.

There are four main study units in the course:

1 People, Work and Development

2 Climate, the Environment and People

3 Water, Landforms and People

4 People and Place

Fieldwork is an essential part of Geography and we aim to offer at least three trips a year for Years 10 and 11. Previous fieldtrips have been to Docklands, Brent River and Boxhill.

BENEFITS The world in which we live is likely to change more in the next 50 years than it has ever done before. Our role in that change is more important than ever. Geography explains the changes and helps to prepare people. It is a subject about now and the future. Geographers have a unique viewpoint combining political and economic aspects with an understanding of the physical processes.

CAREERS Tourism, Town Planning, Environmental Scientist, Surveyor and Teaching. Geography is also useful for Law, Journalism, Medicine and working in the media for example because it combines the understanding of the facts of the sciences with the perception of the arts.
