Geography is the study of natural landscapes (physical geography) and people and their environments (human geography). In Physical Geography, we study 3 topics: coastal landscapes, water and carbon cycles and hazards. In Human geography, we study a further 3 further topics: changing places, global systems global governance and contemporary urban environments. The course will help you to develop both an awareness of and interest in both global and local issues. During the course, you will experience a range of teaching and learning styles, both within and outside the classroom. These include fieldwork activities, decision-making exercises, presentations of research material and thinking skills where you are actively involved in lessons. To complete tasks effectively you will have to develop a range of practical, descriptive and analytical skills.
The syllabus requires that students have achieved a grade 5 or higher in GCSE geography and a grade 5 in either English literature or language.
We study AQA Geography A level which is assessed by a combination of two exams and a non-examined assessment (NEA) • Paper 1 is worth 40% of the final grade and it examines the physical geography topics • Paper 2 is worth 40% of the final grade and it examines the human geography topics. • The NEA is worth 20% of the final grade and is a 3000-4000 word written report based on a fieldwork investigation on a topic of your choice.
