A-Level Geography

Course summary

A level Geography offers a natural progression from GCSE. Geography is a subject which allows those who study it to bridge the two concepts of human behaviour and the natural world by investigating the causation between them. If you want to be part of a subject which can take you across the world on fieldwork, help curb the effects of human pollution or study the patterns of this planet we call home, then consider choosing Geography. This engaging and flexible subject gives students the opportunity to: • Engage with the relationship of human populations to each other, over space and time. • Study the relationship between human populations with their physical environment at a variety of scales from the local to the global. • Consider their own role in relation to themes and issues being studied and the roles, values and attitudes of others including decision makers. Geography Fieldwork involves a mandatory four day fieldwork excursion. In the past this has been to the Dorset Coast at an approximate cost of £250 per student. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop the skills you acquire in the classroom and see Geography in a completely different way.
