Course Description Recommended Prior Learning

15 Level 2 credits achieved in one Social Science course (excluding Tourism) or English.


Level 3 Geography is a course designed to provide students with a greater understanding of the environmental, physical and cultural aspects of our Earth. Students will explore geographical processes, patterns, and perspectives that create and influence complex environmental issues. You will develop an understanding of how human-environment interactions can cause these issues and yet, can be the solution. We study the inter-connectivity of different geographical systems, and observe and evaluate the impact and consequences of human activities on the environment. The course will also feature use of geo-spatial analysis methods and research in the field to help students develop their own world view to take with them to university, employment or travel.
