GCSE Geography Tutors
Frequently Asked Questions
GCSE Geography goes beyond studying the world around us. It explores risk, human interaction, environmental change, and managing consequences. It provides a deep understanding of our place in the world and combines natural and social sciences with history to explain how geography shapes our world.
GCSE Geography covers physical geography, which focuses on Earth's features and ecosystems, and human geography, which explores people, cultures, communities, economies, and their interactions with the environment. It also includes fieldwork investigations related to both human and physical geography.
Studying GCSE Geography develops valuable skills that are transferable to further study or a wide range of careers. These skills include good communication, teamwork, problem-solving, analytical skills, independent inquiry, critical thinking, empathy for other people and cultures, and an interest in local and global current affairs.
GCSE Geography combines well with health and social sciences such as Psychology, Sociology, and Biology. It also incorporates some aspects of economics.
According to the Russell Group of Universities, Geography A Level is useful for degrees in Archaeology, Geology, Sociology, and Civil Engineering.
