Although background knowledge from GCSE is useful it is not vital for success at AS/A2 level. The course offers a strong foundation in both Physical and Human Geography and addresses many of the concerns and issues of today such as environmental problems and inequalities within and between Human Communities.

ECDL or similar non-GCSE equivalent courses do not count for 6th Form entry. For Geography you will also require a Grade 5 in GCSE Geography (if taken) and a Grade 5/5 in Combined Science.
Unit 1: (60%) structured short and extended questions and an essay, 2 hours. Unit 2: (40%) structured short and extended questions based on an advanced information leaflet issued by the exam board, 1.5 hours.
