Welcome to your Wolsey Hall IGCSE Geography Course

This Sample shows One module from the full course and is designed to give you a flavour of the Wolsey Hall approach to home study.

STUDYING GEOGRAPHY

Geography has been called "the mother of all sciences". It is a subject that brings together knowledge from a variety of disciplines to help scientists and researchers better understand this amazing planet.

Those who study Geography are better prepared to understand topics impacting our planet such as climate change Links to an external site., global warming Links to an external site., desertification and water resource issues.

But in addition to just gaining knowledge of our planet and its people, studying Geography will teach you to think critically, to carry out research, and to communicate your ideas in writing – skills that are highly valued in both Higher Education and the workplace.

In this Cambridge IGCSE course, you will examine a range of natural and man-made environments and study some of the processes which affected their development. You will also look at the ways in which people interact with their environment and the opportunities and challenges an environment can present, thereby gaining a deeper insight into the different communities and cultures that exist around the world.

STUDYING WITH WOLSEY HALL

Course Structure

Each of our Wolsey Hall courses is written around a specialised course book which has been chosen by our tutor team as the best available text for each syllabus. You will be guided through this book by working through a series of online Modules. These course Modules have been developed by a subject specialist and include guidance linked to the course book and extensive online resources. At the end of each Module, there is an interactive quiz which enables you to assess how much of the syllabus you have understood so far.  Once you are happy that you have achieved all the learning objectives for that Module, you will begin work on the Module Assignment. The Assignments are submitted online and marked by your Course Tutor. Each Assignment is assessed by your tutor and returned with a grade and detailed feedback.

This CAIE Geography course consists of nine Modules and concludes with our Exam Prep Module and Mock Examination service.

Course Support

When you enrol with Wolsey Hall you will be appointed a Student Progress Manager who is your key point of contact with the College. They will support you throughout your course and help you keep to your assignment schedule. You will begin your course with an online chat with your Course Tutor which will give you an opportunity to discuss the course in more detail and ask any questions you may have. From then on, you will be able to message your Course Tutor via the Canvas Messaging System at any time if you require guidance.

We will support you at every stage in your studies. To help you get the most out of your course, we have produced a comprehensive Course Guide. We strongly encourage you to read through this Course Guide before you begin your studies.
