Are you interested in today’s world? Do you want to find out more about topical issues currently in the news – topics such as river flooding, coastal management, problems of rapid population growth, and the environmental impact of energy production? Then geography is the subject for you! This stimulating subject builds on the knowledge gained at GCSE Level. This is an ideal course to investigate a range of current global problems, develop your research skills, and experience fieldwork in various locations. Analyse information in graphical, photographic, and cartographic formats. For example water and carbon cycle, hazards, coasts, changing places, global systems, and governance and resource security. Geography can be divided into two main branches: Human Geography is a social science that studies how humans interact with the planet. Physical Geography is a branch of earth science, which looks at the world's natural elements, including the atmosphere, land, and oceans.
To study a standard A Level programme (three A Levels) you must have a minimum of five GCSEs grade 4 and above including English and Maths. Requires GCSEs in English language or English literature in grade 5, maths in grade 4, and geography in grade 5 if taken, plus the standard entry requirements of A Level or mixed program.
Two exams of two hours and 30 minutes were taken in the summer of the second year, each worth 40% of the final grade, plus a coursework component worth 20% based on the fieldwork carried out locally and on the residential trip.
