What Will You Learn?

So much more than maps, rivers and physical features, while the vast and fascinating subject of geography does incorporate surface descriptions of Earth, it also studies human relationships and distributions.

Human populations, cultural identities, political organisations, agriculture, industrialisation and their overall development compose complex aspects to geographic studies of our planet. In this course, we will cover many of these aspects to provide a well-rounded introduction to the field of geography.

The Geography Diploma Course provides a broad introduction into the complex world of geography. You’ll explore the Earth’s physical components to understand relative geographical processes that encompass surface features such as mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, oceans, and various environmental biomes. You’ll also discover the implications of human interactions within those environments to establish our own understanding of the natural world.

Studying this course will enable you to define and distinguish various geographical concepts including techniques, historical significance, physical components, human ideologies, and environmental implications. You will learn how geography has changed over time to accommodate shifting human societal structures as a result of agriculture, industrialization, and urbanization.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Understand geography’s basic disciplines and development
  • Explore various tools and techniques used by geographers throughout history
  • Be able to describe the physical characteristics of Earth’s environment
  • Be able to distinguish physical marine and freshwater geographic concepts
  • Explore and differentiate terrestrial, marine, and freshwater biomes
  • Understand patterns and changes to human populations
  • Explore the historical development of agriculture, and understand associated relationships between people and the environment
  • Explore the effects of industrialization
  • Understand the geographic significance of political and economic complexities
  • Understand the geographical significance of cultural influences
