This IGCSE Geography Course is ideal for anyone wishing to gain a knowledge and understanding of this subject. You will also find this course extremely valuable if you are looking for a progression route for further training whilst employed.

This course will help students develop a sense of place by observing the world around them on a local, regional and global scale.

Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses are designed for examination at age 16-plus. This syllabus is available for examination in both the June and November sessions.

There are four units or Papers. You will be expected to study units 1 and 2 and 4. You will not have the option in this course of pursuing unit 3 as this is a school-based assignment and is thus unsuitable to the distance learning format.

  • Paper 1

Exam: 1 hour 45 minutes

Candidates must answer any three questions out of six. There are two questions set on each of three themes. Questions are structured with gradients of difficulty and are resource based, involving problem solving and free response writing.
