Geography is a subject about the real world outside the classroom. It integrates many other subject areas such as Biology, Sociology, Geology, Economics, Environmental Sciences and Information Technology. It is regarded as a ‘facilitating’ subject by the Russell Group of universities. It is a subject, which can be studied at university (as a science, art or economics degree) or in conjunction with a multitude of other subjects. The new specification has been designed to increase the choice offered to students studying GCE Geography, allowing for specialization and progression to higher education and employment. To develop investigative skills, the students will be taken on an exciting field trip. The AS and A Levels in Geography are linear, and all assessments are at the end of the course. The AS Assessment will be at the end of the first year, and the A Level Assessment will be at the end of the second year. As part of the study programmed, students are also given the opportunity to attend talks by eminent scientists in order to broaden their knowledge as well as attend Higher Education seminars organized by the Royal Geographical Society. Geography is popular with employers because of the literacy, numeracy and graphic skills interwoven within the subject. Most geography graduates can collect and summaries data; write a concise report; present data clearly and efficiently; and will possess specialist technical field and research skills. Career & Further Study: Geography assists the development of many job relevant skills such as interpersonal communication, graphic and data handling & researching. It is also a subject, which allows “science” specialists to develop important literacy skills and “art” specialists to develop important numeracy and graphic skills. Geography graduates have good records of employability. Students will have the experience of working both individually and co operatively in groups. You will therefore be very well placed to compete in the career market. Geography is a “living” subject happening everywhere and a successful medium for investigating the past, present and future. Geography can lead to a wide and varied number of careers or to broaden ones understanding of the world, its environments and its people. A Level Geography provides a springboard into diverse areas and students can specialize in Earth & Marine Sciences, Geography & Environmental Sciences, Economics, Travel and Tourism to name a few. Later they could work in many fields, including: environmental science and management, research and education, administration, planning, finance and banking, accountancy, legal professions, teaching, the armed forces, management, the police, conservation, banking, marketing and sales, or into higher degrees.
