Geographers have a crucial role to play in helping us to understand and tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, including complex issues such as natural disasters, population growth and food security.
Through our GCSE Geography online course, you’ll explore the awesome power of nature – from river formation and volcanic eruptions, to weather and earthquakes. By studying different societies worldwide, you’ll also learn how humans interact with and impact upon the natural environment.
GCSE Geography will help you to deepen your understanding of our physical and cultural world. You’ll gain practical investigative and map skills, alongside presentation, debating and report writing skills, as you develop a broad, highly relevant ‘geographer’s skill-set’.
Why is the world’s population growing rapidly? What causes earthquakes? What role do humans play in climate change? Our GCSE Geography online course tackles relevant questions about our world, through engaging topics.
Geographers are highly employable – they have a great range of skills and a deep understanding of the world, so this course opens up a wide range of future career possibilities, and is great preparation for further study.

Hours
*The specification suggests that 150 hours is needed. You’ll also need time to complete assignments and prepare yourself for exams and some courses like English literature involve a lot of reading. Everyone is different so it’s impossible to say with certainty how long a course will take you, but you should expect to spend longer than 150 hours. Taken across the length of time we recommend, this equates to approximately 4 hours per week. This will increase if you choose to take it over a shorter time frame or may be less if you are retaking a subject and have covered a lot of of the course content.
