This course is for students who want to continue studying geography after GCSE. You will already be familiar with some of the topics, but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. It's for you if you are interested in current global issues like climate change, migration and environmental degradation. You might be choosing geography because you're headed for a career in a geography related occupation though it will give you a set of skills that can be used in a whole variety of careers. For some geography related careers, it's good to have studied geography in combination with subjects like maths, chemistry, physics or biology.
GCSE Grade 6 in Geography or Grade 6 in Science and Grade 6 in English (if Geography not studied previously).
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There are 2 examination papers one each for physical and human geography components each of 2 hours 30 minutes duration.
