The skills learnt in Geography are applicable to time and budget-critical projects at all levels, and are an essential part of decision-making processes which take place all over the world. International project development, NGO and related lobbying activities, as well as more local planning and organising, are all linked directly to the work we cover. The Edexcel course is broad, with equal components of physical and human geography. You will look at tectonic processes and hazards along with coastal landscapes and change in physical geography. Globalisation and regenerating places will be completed in human geography. In addition to those year 12 topics, year 13, includes the water cycle and water insecurity and the carbon cycle and energy security, superpowers and global development and connections. There will be a minimum of four days of fieldwork which will be carried out in a residential setting, costing approximately £350. The course is demanding and requires you to both read around the subject and complete a significant amount of individual Research. Recent students have worked with practitioners in discussing sustainable strategies for flood management, and assisted the lower school.
