Semester 1 covers North America; South America; Europe; Semester 2 covers Asia; Africa; and Oceania, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica—as they learn more about the physical and cultural traits that makes each region unique, as well as studying their commonalties. Students also look at issues such as trade, globalization, the environment, conflict, and other topics that influence the world today. Students also learn and apply research skills as they undertake research projects that give them a more in-depth focus on specific regions of the globe.When enrolling in the full year option of this course it will be delivered in two semesters.
