GCSE Geography


A popular combination for GCSE geography groups is to study one physical geography topic and one human geography topic in sufficient depth for either to be written up and submitted as the coursework investigation. All the fieldwork will be highly relevant to the syllabus giving fresh understanding to geographical concepts by first hand observation of physical processes and human influence on the landscape.

A combination of topics can be chosen from the following:

  • Coastal Processes & Management
  • River Processes & Management
  • Agriculture
  • Settlement - Rural & Urban
  • Woodland & Estuarine Ecology
  • Tourist & Recreational Development
  • Industrial/Business Park Location
  • Weather & Microclimate
  • Land Use Change

All field study sites are within a 40 minute drive from the Medina Valley Centre, or within walking distance.
