Course Overview

Geography is the study of the Earth and the link between physical and human landscapes, it explores the relationships between people, place, and the environment, and how these vary between places; History is the study of the past and investigates the cultural, political, social and economic history of Britain, Europe and the Atlantic World.

Combining these subjects will allow you to fully explore how the world has changed, is changing, and how it will change in the future.
Through Geography, you will look at issues such as land use, planning and development, globalization, climate change, energy, and tourism, to examine human relationships with the environment. Through History, you will first follow a broad approach to the study of history from the medieval to the modern period, before examining in-depth particular topics of history, and specific places, periods, and themes that utilize the research specialisms of your teaching team.

Geography graduates are among the most employable, with skills developed in presenting ideas in reports and oral presentations, in data collection and analysis, and in the use of specialist mapping and statistical software.  Each year, you will also build on your historical analytical and research abilities through a series of skills modules.
