Geography

Course summary

This new Level course aims to incorporate a multitude of human and physical Geography themes, with an engaging and contemporary issues-based approach. Eight main topics at A Level are assessed by examination. They include; Tectonic Processes and Hazards, The Water Cycle and Water Insecurity, The Carbon Cycle and Energy Security, Coastal Landscapes and Change, Globalisation, Superpowers, Regenerating Places and Diverse Places, and Health, Human Rights, and Intervention. In addition, there is an independent investigation which pupils write up after a period of fieldwork. Students must complete a minimum of four days of fieldwork. Fieldwork must be carried out about physical and human geography. This is a Department for Education (DfE) requirement and is therefore compulsory for all students studying A Level Geography.
