Level 3 Geography
Level 3 Geography is the study of cultural and natural geography. Topics studied include a research assessment of Muriwai Beach where the key concepts of process, interaction and change are studied. How a specific Coastal Environment evolves and develops in a local location is investigated. We use Rhythm and Vines as a case study to analyse a contemporary event from a geographic perspective. Tourism Development is our chosen cultural process. This involves a fieldtrip to Rotorua to support our understanding of this process operates and the impacts associated with it. Skills and Geographic concepts are also an important focus of the course.
