- Analyse urbanization trends, urban issues, and the challenges faced by cities.
- Understand global development patterns, economic activities, and trade relations.
- Examine the challenges and issues related to resource management, including water and energy resources.
- Geographical Skills:
- Develop the ability to interpret and analyse geographical data, maps, and graphs.
- Conduct fieldwork to collect primary data, make observations, and carry out geographic investigations.
- Apply geographic concepts, theories, and models to real-world situations.
2. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving:
- Apply critical thinking skills to analyse and evaluate the impact of geographical factors on various issues, such as environmental challenges, urban development, and resource management.
- Identify solutions to geographical problems and make informed decisions based on geographic knowledge and data.
3. Communication:
- Effectively communicate geographical concepts and findings through written reports, presentations, and graphical representations.
- Use appropriate geographical terminology to convey ideas and analysis.
4. Fieldwork Skills:
- Conduct fieldwork investigations, which involve planning, data collection, analysis, and reporting.
