Rachel L Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Is it possible to study Geography HL by myself out of school as my school does not offer it? I know it will mean a heavier workload but I'm looking at a field like Sustainable Development and Urban Planning for university studies, and I believe that Geography will give me a really good foundation for that.I checked out the syllabus as well, and it would be amazing if I could take the subject as it looks like something that I would be very interested in Currently, the subjects I have chosen are:Maths SLEnglish A HLEconomics HLBiology HLPsychology SLSpanish ab initio SL Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armani Thurman Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 IDK if you can self study. But from what you are saying, you may be able to go a little further into the subject. The way my school is set up we take IB Geography in one school year ( about 8 months). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitless Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hey, I am taking geography HL, and I can safely say it is a subject that can be self-studied, mainly because the concepts are easy to get your head around if you have read from some good souces. There are plenty of books, websites and videos, which can help you get through- especially the topic s that you have mentioned are quite popular P.s you might be able to see some aa-level material on it, which is good if your just interested in the subject -Limitless- Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboro76 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The only thing is that it might be hard to do the IA. Normally your teacher has to advise you no what to do and also mark it and submit it to the IB. You will have to talk to your school about that. Maybe they have a teacher that could mark it, but not teach you?However content wise I cant see no problem, as long as you are motivated (which you appear to be). In many ways it would give you more flexibility in terms of case studies, options, etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBidiot Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It probably could be studied, but doesn't the IB require a certain number of class hours? Correct me if I am wrong... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
