Geography

Course summary

This A level offers some familiar topics such as hazards, urban change and coastal systems but there are also some new topics with a twist which link in to university skills and demands. These include global governance (organisations working at an international / cross border level – eg. NATO, EU, UN , NAFTA and NGO’s) and the water and carbon cycles. There is also an independent geography fieldwork investigation which requires students to write up a 3,000-4,000 piece of work from their own data collection and research.
