The Edexcel specification at A level is designed to excite students’ minds, challenge perceptions and stimulate their investigative and analytical skills. The topics covered reflect the world today, looking not only at the impact of humans on the physical environment and the challenges this has created, but also looking at global governance and the political, economic and social changes that are currently happening in the world. It will also enable students to study their own and others engagement with place, looking at the nature and importance of place in human life and experience. Geography is one of the most relevant courses you could choose to study with the growing importance of issues such as: - Climate change - Migration - Environmental degradation - Spatial epidemiology and inequalities Geography courses are popular, demonstrated by strong completion rates and positive student feedback. Geographers are also highly employable and collectively receive competitive graduate salaries. Above all, geographers have potential to be wellinformed global citizens, using their unique combinations of knowledge and skills to make a positive difference in the world. Geography is, in the broadest sense, an education for life and for living.
