A Level Geography (AQA) A Level Geography explores the relationships between people, places, and the environment, helping you understand the world’s most pressing challenges — from climate change and globalisation to urban growth and resource management. It’s an ideal subject for students who enjoy discussion, analysis, and fieldwork, and who want to make sense of how our planet works. You’ll study both physical and human geography, with topics including: Physical Geography: water and carbon cycles, coastal or glacial landscapes, and natural hazards such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. Human Geography: global systems and governance, changing places, and population and urban issues. You’ll also carry out an independent fieldwork investigation, where you design your own research question, collect data, and produce a written report — an excellent preparation for university-level study.This A Level builds valuable skills in data analysis, research, and critical thinking, and is highly regarded for university courses and careers in environmental science, urban planning, sustainability, international development, and geospatial technologies.
Grade 6+ in Geography or Sciences
Assessment: Assessment is through two written exams at the end of Year 13 and a non-examined assessment (NEA) based on your independent fieldwork project.
