Increasingly, we live in a globalised world. We are inextricably linked to the other 7.3 billion people living on planet earth in 2015. The issues posed by our relationships with the natural world and with each other, today and in the future, are what geographers are fascinated by. In the first year we study the themes of population and the geography of health, exploring issues such as overpopulation and the spread of diseases such as HIVAIDS. We learn to explain changes in rivers and coasts as part of natural global systems. In the second year we investigate global climate change, natural hazard management and the potential for human resilience. We explore urbanisation and the challenges of megacities. we learn to explain modern contemporary conflicts and the potential for resolution. Students gain highly transferrable skills on this course, for example using a range of sources they will analyse information, gain knowledge of people and places and develop their awareness of global citizenship issues. We strongly encourage independence and critical thinking.
