Geography at GCSE is an exciting course which brings our world into your classroom. The current course is very practical, interactive and demands independent thinking and enthusiasm. This is a must for those who enjoy geography, the world around you and the environment you live in and want to develop their geographical, IT, media and scientific skills in an academic context. This is modern Geography for the 21^st Century.

Unit 3: Geographical Applications

Fieldwork

All students will take part in two days of practical fieldwork during the course, one focusing on the physical geography of the UK and the second looking at human aspects of the course. This fieldwork is designed to provide practical experience and an opportunity to collect data first hand and to bring the work covered in the classroom to life. The skills practiced during these days will be assessed as a part of the summer exams.
