Geography of the UK – Knowledge and understanding of the UK’s geography, both in overview and with some in depth study, to include its physical and human landscapes, environmental challenges, changing economy and society, the importance of cultural and political factors, and its relationships with the wider world. Much of this may be achieved by study in combination with other physical, human and environmental study topics, but students must also study the UK as a country and draw across physical and human characteristics to summarise significant geographical features and issues.
