Introduction
Introduction
In 2025, we did some research into what we can do to protect our coastline. This includes building seawalls, the coastal walkway and maybe just not doing anything at all!
There is an element of student choice when it comes to the other internal assessments, we have lots of options that include looking at the global pattern of tourism, malaria or HIV. You could investigate issues such as human trafficking, freedom camping or maritime piracy.
For our external, we look at the development of tourism. In 2025, we will be heading to Waitomo Caves to check out how tourism has shaped the area.
You do not have to have studied Geography at Level 1 or 2.
