Level 2 Geography

Geographers can best be described as the Jacks of all trades in the world of Humanities, our skills traverse the Humanities and Sciences allowing to develop an all round understanding of our world and the way people and the environment interact. The course is based around two external standards: Development issues (Tanzania), and Geographic Skills (using maps, graphs, photos etc). There are three internal standards: the Research standard is based around collection of data and observations to understand if Auckland has successful public spaces in a one-day field trip around the Auckland CBD. The Contemporary Geographic Issue standard looks at the of issue of forestry slash causing flooding in Tolaga Bay. Students will use Geographic Information systems (ArcGIS) to solve a geographic problem. 

In addition to the content and case studies, students learn a range of skills such as gathering, presenting, analysing and interpreting data, together with practical techniques.
