Geography

The specification contributes to spiritual, moral and cultural education by requiring students to study issues in physical and human geography. It also contributes to environmental and sustainable development education by requiring students to develop an understanding of processes and issues in the human environment. Furthermore, the specification has both a European and global dimension requiring students to study geographical processes and their outcomes in places and contexts at a range of scales from local to global.
