12GEO Course DescriptionGeography offers a unique lens through which we can understand the spatial organisation and dynamics of human societies. Throughout this course, we will delve into a wide range of captivating topics, from urbanisation and globalisation to migration patterns, cultural landscapes, and the impacts of technology.
Students will learn skills of geographic research, conducting geographic fieldwork, understanding geographic perspectives and acquiring geographic writing skills that will set them apart from the crowd!
By examining these themes, you will gain insights into the interconnectedness of people and places, and how these connections shape our social identities, behaviours and experiences. This could involve contexts such as happiness, patterns of hip hop, urban crime, and local geographic issues that impact both people and place.
