A Level Geography

Course summary

Geography, and the world we study, is ever-changing. That’s why we focus on fundamental processes, reflect on the world around us and foster an understanding of what could impact its future. The core topics include: Coastal processes, flooding and management Tectonic hazards and management The importance of water security Carbon futures and energy security Globalisation Regeneration Superpower Geographies Migration, identity and sovereignty There is also an underlying synoptic theme which help students see ‘the bigger picture’, by encouraging them to make geographical links between topics and issues. To enable this, and support exam preparations, we signpost ‘Players’ (P), ‘Attitudes and Actions’ (A) and ‘Futures and Uncertainties’ (F) throughout the specification content.
