NCEA Level 3 Geography

Geography is the study of Earth's landscapes, peoples, places and environments. It is, quite simply, about the world in which we live. It seeks to interpret the world and how it changes over time and explain relationships and connections between people and the environment. Essentially geography is unique in bridging the social sciences (human geography) with the natural sciences (physical geography). This course covers aspects of physical and human geography. 

Study and assessments include:

• Demonstrating understanding of a given environment(s) through selection and application of geographic concepts and skills;
• Demonstrating understanding of how a cultural process shapes geographic environment(s) through the concept of Tourism  (Bali);
• Analysing aspects of wildfires at a global scale;
• Analysing aspects of a human trafficking geographic issue; and
• Conducting geographic research into variations and interactions within the Kaikoura Coastal Environment. 

If a student achieves 14 Level 3 credits in this course it will be counted as an approved subject for University Entrance.
