A Higher Geography Tutor Course builds on the Standard Grade Geography tuition in the subject and on the Units and Courses in Geography studied with Intermediate level Geography tutors. It is also undertaken by a number of candidates who may have studied another social subject. The achievement of a Standard Grade Geography, Intermediate Geography or Higher Geography qualification is recognised towards general entry for both further and higher education. More specifically, it is referred to as a preferred entry qualification to a number of Units at Higher National level with a geographical and environmental focus and in higher education it is valued as an entry qualification to Arts, Social Science and Science faculties in many universities.

During Standard Grade Geography tuition, Intermediate Geography tuition and Higher Geography tuition emphasis is placed on the provision of geographical experiences which lead candidates to an understanding of concepts, key ideas and relevant terminology. These experiences also develop evaluative and investigative skills. In the Geography: Physical Environments and Geography: Human Environments Units of the Geography lessons the focus of study is on specific features of physical and human environments. The Geography: Environmental Interactions Unit develops an awareness of the inter-relationships between these environments.

Candidates who have completed all three Units will, therefore, have widened their knowledge of the environment as a whole but will also have been able to use this knowledge to come to a greater understanding of how the different elements of these environments relate to each other. As these knowledge and skill areas develop, candidates will increasingly apply them to situations in which they have to make sound and reasoned judgements about local, national and global environmental issues.

The study of Geography at Higher level provides an increasingly sophisticated development of skills through a range of learning experiences. In addition, there is an increased emphasis on developing skills of independent study, co-operative learning, objective thinking and the ability to communicate clearly and confidently. The development of these skills at Higher level provides candidates with a sound base from which to pursue further studies.

The principal aim of the Geography tutor is that, by using the concepts and techniques of geographical analysis, candidates develop a detailed understanding of aspects of the contemporary world which are of concern to all citizens. In addition, the Course enables candidates to develop progressively:
♦ an understanding of the ways in which people and the environment interact in response to physical and human processes at local, national and international scales
♦ an awareness of spatial relationships and an understanding of the changing world in a balanced, critical and sympathetic way
♦ a life-long interest in, understanding of, and concern for the environment
♦ a geographical perspective on environmental issues and their significance
♦ general skills of research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation, including the use of IT
♦ techniques and terminology to collect, extract, analyse, interpret and explain geographical phenomena
♦ expertise in the use of a range of maps, diagrams, statistical techniques, written accounts and, where appropriate, new technology, to process and communicate information
