About this course

Free Level 3 IB Higher Level Geography Course in Broadstairs. Classes run at Dane Court Grammar School, full-time over two years. The course explores world interdependence and the relationship between people, place, and the environment, with a strong global perspective throughout. No prior GCSE Geography is required, though the school notes it would be helpful. Geography opens routes into a wide range of careers and further study. You'll complete the Level 3 IB Higher Level Geography Certificate.

Who this course is for

The Geography course has been designed to develop the themes of world interdependence and the interrelationship between people, place and the environment. There is a global perspective to the Core and Option topics which geographers will be familiar with, however there is no requirement to have studied Geography at GCSE level, although this would obviously be beneficial. Geography is recognised as being able to give students a wide range of choices in a variety of different career fields and any student with an interest in local and global issues be they a physical event, such as lithospheric (tectonic) hazard, or a human orientated event, such the growth of the world?s population, would be interested in this course.
