Geography at Raffles provides maximum opportunities for students to learn and apply important geographic principles in both physical and human geography.

A Solid Foundation
The teaching programme is aimed at equipping students with the fundamentals which are vital to understanding the discipline.

A Hands-On Approach
Students will learn to use and apply the practical tools of geography such as maps, globes, charts, compasses and clinometers.

Extensive Multimedia Resources in the form of slides, CD-ROMs and videos are used to enhance the learning experience and are available to students for their personal research.

Field Trips to local sites as well as countries such as the UK, the US, Mauritius, New Zealand and Kenya are often the highlights of the academic programme, allowing students to apply what they have learnt in actual environments. These trips regularly include study attachments and lectures at professional field centres.

Student-Centred Learning
Teachers in the Geography Unit are highly committed to student-centred development. We build a close a strong rapport with our students, guiding them not only in their academic learning but also in their overall personal development.
