Who this course is for
Geography is a broad and dynamic subject that is firmly grounded in the real world. It helps to explain the similarities and differences between spaces and places across a variety of scales and perspectives. Geography inspires students to examine key local, national and global issues appreciating our shared responsibility as citizens of an increasingly interconnected world.
You'll examine the relationships between human activity and physical environments at different scales.
You'll analyse key global issues such as climate change, resource management and urbanisation.
You'll study how places and spaces are shaped by local, national and international forces.
You'll develop skills in interpreting maps, data, and geographical information.
You'll evaluate different perspectives on environmental and social challenges.
You'll carry out fieldwork, gathering and analysing evidence from real locations.
You'll construct extended written arguments supported by geographical evidence.
How you will learn
You'll learn through classroom lessons, discussion, and fieldwork. Assessment for the IB Higher Level Geography qualification includes written examinations at the end of the two years and an internal assessment based on a fieldwork investigation. The internal assessment is marked by your teacher and moderated externally. Classes are delivered full-time during the day at Anglo European School.
