‘Geographers are often at the front line of the world’s war zones and disaster areas and enabling people to update their views of the earth and its inhabitants.’ Secretary General of the United Nations. Interested? If not, how does this sound? Geography graduates are highly employable!’ Times Educational Supplement. Rather than waiting for the world to change, Students can use their skills as global citizens to go out and change it. A Level of Geography is split into the physical and human elements of the course. Within the physical geography section, students will investigate why tectonic processes and hazards vary in impact around the globe. Students will also look into the changing landscapes of coastal areas. The unit of study then moves onto two of the most pressing global issues at this time; the water cycle and water security, and the carbon cycle and energy security. As part of the human geography section, students will investigate the changing patterns of world trade and industry as part of globalization. Students then move on to looking at regenerating places and why so much money and investment is going into our cities. The course then moves on to looking at the world’s current superpowers and who the new emerging superpowers are going to be. Migration and sovereignty are huge issues both within the UK and in other countries around the world and this is investigated within the final unit of the module. Studying Geography at A Level will give students all of the skills that top universities and employers desire. ‘Of all the subjects, it is Geography that best draws together the techniques of research, planning, communications, and presentations that employers demand today.’ Director of Transport Research.
