Studying Geography at IGCSE is a fascinating and rewarding experience. Geography students are  knowledgeable, skilled and confident individuals. They are able to understand how past societies  and environments have developed, providing the context for the present and helping to plan for the  future. 

The IGCSE Geography curriculum aims to develop lasting knowledge, lifelong skills and practices.  When studying Geography, students gain insights into a range of practical, social, economic and  environmental issues. In addition, they become skilled in a number of core geographic skills such as  planning and carrying out investigations, using specialist equipment, reading and interpreting maps,  as well as digital mapping.  

The Geography course provides the ‘intellectual glue’ that binds together other disciplines, such  as History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Sociology, Economics, Political Science and many  others.* This ability to translate knowledge across these disciplines is an incredibly important skill in  the 21st Century.
