What will I study?
You will be encouraged to look at the physical nature of the planet and the influence human activity has on it.
You will study topics in human geography (Migration, Power and Borders), and physical geography (Coasts, Water and Carbon Cycles). There are also topics which bridge the gap between human and physical geography, such as hazards and oceans which we study in further depth.
You will also have the opportunity to study another area of your choice as part of your coursework.
