Topics covered in Year 12 provide a familiar transition from GCSE by extending knowledge on traditional issues such as tectonic and coastal processes and the regeneration of major cities. We also develop our understanding of the ongoing process of globalisation and consider its effects on society and business. In Year 13, we focus on key physical systems including the carbon and water cycles, whilst also gaining in-depth knowledge of the issues surrounding energy security. In human geography students will focus on the issues of sovereignty and national identity. We also include the study of global superpowers and consider which countries are the leaders in the global economy and why.
For Level 3 courses the minimum requirement is 5 x GCSE grades at 4/5 and above (normally including English and Maths) including a minimum of a grade 4/5 in the subjects you wish to study. Grade 4/5 in Geography from the higher tier of GCSE exams as well as at least a Grade 4/5 in GCSE Maths.
The course is assessed by three examinations at the end of Year 13 and a coursework project. • A level paper 1 9GEO/01 – Physical Geography (tectonics, coasts, water cycle, carbon cycle & energy issues) • A level paper 2 9GEO/02 – Human Geography (globalisation, regeneration, super powers, migration and global development) • A level paper 3 9GEO/03 – Geographical Issue Evaluation • A level Non-Examined coursework 9GEO/04 – Independent Coursework Investigation In Year 12, students are required to undertake fieldwork and this will involve a residential fieldtrip. Students will also be required to conduct fieldwork independently to enable them to complete their coursework.
