The geography curriculum intends to:
- develop students’ knowledge and skills required and to gain understanding of the world
- embed geographical skills and literacy into our department curriculum; students are taught the research, presentation and problem solving skills in interpretation of data and source stimulus to become better geographers
- learn about the variety of landscapes and changing environments recognising the resilience and dynamism of human and physical processes affecting them over time
- provide opportunities for students to extend their vocabulary and language, so that they may apply their historical, mathematical and scientific knowledge in different contexts
- increase BBEC students’ awareness of their role and responsibilities in the world in which they live and build citizens who recognise the importance of kindness in our shared planet
- explore, extend and question students’ awareness of their role and impact on the environment on a local, national and global scale
- provide opportunities for BBEC students to experience the world through fieldwork, learning to compare and contrast experiences
- ensure students understand the value of their environment to ensure a sustainable future, afford the planet and its population courtesy and appreciate the opportunities for geography and the environment in the future world work
- challenge their perceptions of place and of different lives and cultures around the world and recognise through the lens of inclusion, that it is a world for all, challenging stereotypes
- create not just geography students of Bradford, but students who realise that they are ambitious custodians of the world
