Geography

Course summary

Geography is the study of the Earth’s Places, People, Environments and Societies. It is the only subject whose main focus is the relationship between people and their environment. In other words Geography tries to make sense of the changing world we all live in. There are many types of Geography. At A-level we look at Physical, Environmental, Human, Social and Cultural and Political Geographies. Candidates for Geography will be interested in the World around them, how and why it is changing and their role in the world of the Future. Our students will learn in a number of ways and will develop a range of skills including ICT and handling data, decision making, fieldwork skills, presenting data, as well as looking at other cultures, political decisions, and discussing alternative solutions to problems. Candidates will normally have studied Geography at GCSE but this is not always essential.
