Course summary

A Level Geography is an engaging course in which students study a range of physical and human geography topics and complete an independent geographical fieldwork investigation. In physical geography students gain an understanding of the cycles that drive our planet, looking at the water and carbon cycles. Students will also study areas of the world that are under stress such as cold environments. There is also the study of hazards looking at the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes and humans. In human geography students will study how urban growth presents significant environmental and social challenges for the human population; peoples' engagement with places and how they experience them; and globalization and the driving forces behind the global economy and society. Students will undertake four days of fieldwork which will be used to prepare for their personal fieldwork unit.
