Description

So much more than maps, rivers and physical features, while the vast and fascinating subject of geography does incorporate surface descriptions of Earth, it also studies human relationships and distributions.

Human populations, cultural identities, political organisations, agriculture, industrialisation and their overall development compose complex aspects to geographic studies of our planet. In this course, we will cover many of these aspects to provide a well-rounded introduction to the field of geography.

The Geography Diploma Course provides a broad introduction into the complex world of geography. You’ll explore the Earth’s physical components to understand relative geographical processes that encompass surface features such as mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, oceans, and various environmental biomes. You’ll also discover the implications of human interactions within those environments to establish our own understanding of the natural world.

Studying this course will enable you to define and distinguish various geographical concepts including techniques, historical significance, physical components, human ideologies, and environmental implications. You will learn how geography has changed over time to accommodate shifting human societal structures as a result of agriculture, industrialization, and urbanization.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Understand geography’s basic disciplines and development
  • Explore various tools and techniques used by geographers throughout history
  • Be able to describe the physical characteristics of Earth’s environment
  • Be able to distinguish physical marine and freshwater geographic concepts
  • Explore and differentiate terrestrial, marine, and freshwater biomes
  • Understand patterns and changes to human populations
  • Explore the historical development of agriculture, and understand associated relationships between people and the environment
  • Explore the effects of industrialization
  • Understand the geographic significance of political and economic complexities
  • Understand the geographical significance of cultural influences

Who is this course for?

The Geography Diploma Course will benefit anyone who has the desire to understand the unique and complex relationships between humans and the environment. It’s perfect if you’d like to understand the events that have contributed to Earth’s environmental changes and current geographic solutions. Complete this course, and you’ll understand many natural processes, human interactions, and environmental implications; which will greatly benefit your future as an informed member of society.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
