Overview

If you are already teaching Geography B you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

Our new Geography B specification helps put the student on the path to becoming a geography specialist by giving them the skills and knowledge relevant to the modern age. This qualification covers the four key themes of geography - rivers and coasts, population and settlement, natural hazards, and economic development.
