The course aims to enable students to become global citizens of the future, allowing them to view the world from a variety of perspectives. Students will develop a range of geographical skills such as evaluation and analysis through an array of topical issues, encompassing both the human and physical elements of geography. This will provide the opportunity for students to develop informed opinions and make decisions based on a sound platform of knowledge. Geography is recognized as an important academic subject by all places of work and higher education institutions. Students will develop a range of transferable skills relevant to a variety of professional vocations. Areas of further study or professions with a specific geographical focus could include: Meteorology, GIS, Town Planning, Conservation, Cartography, and Surveying; any area where the ability to analyze and interpret information is held in high regard.
Our general Sixth Form entry requirement is 5 GCSEs at grades 4 - 9. A minimum of Grade 6 in GCSE Geography is preferred. It is not essential to have studied GCSE Geography but it is highly recommended, and the student should demonstrate an enthusiasm and motivation to succeed in Geography.
