3 of our students are currently involved in the 2022 Geography Talent Development Programme (TDP) organised by the Geography Unit of CPDD, MOE. The TDP is an annual programme for selected Geography students nationwide and offers opportunities to deepen mastery of the subject through seminars, field-based learning and career exploration sessions. In addition, four TDP participants will be selected to represent Singapore at the prestigious International Geography Olympiad in 2022.
NUS GC aims to ignite students' passion and interest for the dynamic discipline of Geography. Through intellectually stimulating as well as creative and fun ways, this competition is an excellent platform for students to apply the geographical knowledge that they have learnt in school and to gain exposure to other sub-fields of the discipline. The theme for NUS GC 2020 is “Operation Climate: Time for Action”, which is particularly relevant given the scale, complexity and urgency of the issue.
"The whole experience was enriching and rewarding. The preparation for the test allowed me to learn beyond the syllabus and gave me exposure to new geographical insights." - Shobitha Senthil Nathan
