Geography is the study of the world around us and how we interact with the world. The A’level course includes three exams and one piece of individual investigation (coursework) What topics will students cover? Dynamic Landscapes - We study tectonic hazards around the world and how people prepare and plan for such events. There is a particular focus on processes and what leads to the formation of landscapes and how they change. We also look at a range of dynamic landscapes includes rivers and glaciated valleys to identify the reasons for their formation and how they change over time. Dynamic Places - We study globalisation and how global interdependence continues to accelerate which results in changes for people and businesses. We focus on how globalisation impacts culture and the flow of ideas, people and goods take place around the world. We look at how places are being regenerated and changed to suit the needs of the people who live there. Physical Systems and Sustainability - We explore the water and carbon cycle and how water insecurity is an increasingly global threat. Finally, we look at climate change and how the future of the planet is in crisis. Human Systems and Geopolitics - The idea of superpowers is investigated and how countries are becoming emerging superpowers in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations. We look and see how these global powers influence politics and the environment through development. Migration, identity and sovereignty is explored to see why people move and the issues that arise as a result of mass migration. Independent Investigation – An independent investigation is undertaken by students to explore and area of their choice. This 3000 to 4000 word report is based on an area that the candidate is interested in.
