We follow a course based on the textbooks ‘geog. 1, 2 and 3’. The three year course enables students to study all three aspects of the subject (physical, human and environmental geography) and provides extensive opportunities for ICT and research tasks through topics such as migration stories, development, globalisation and climate change. Emphasis is also put on understanding the geographical basis behind many of today’s major issues such as climate change and globalisation. Examples are taken form both MEDCs and LEDCs.
