Geography allows us to understand how and why it is changing and how we can respond and adapt to such change, through examination of contemporary case studies and ideas. Geographical issues are increasingly part of local, national and international news agendas and debates; issues such as geophysical hazards, climate change, globalisation, migration, urbanisation, extreme weather, energy security, water conflicts, global superpowers, and development, to name but a few! During this A-Level Geography course you will study all the above issues – and many more besides. There has never been a better, nor more relevant time, to study Geography.
GRADE 6 IN GCSE GEOGRAPHY.
EXAMINATIONS: 80% NON-EXAM ASSESSMENT: 20% The A-Level will be examined through 4 components: 3 papers and 1 non-examination assessment. 1: Dynamic Landscapes, Physical Systems and Sustainability (30%) Tectonic Processes and Hazards; Coastal Landscapes; the Water Cycle and Water Insecurity; the Carbon Cycle and Energy Security; Climate Change Futures 2: Dynamic Places, Human Systems and Geopolitics (30%) Globalisation; Shaping Places; Superpowers; Global Development and Connections 3: Synoptic Assessment (20%) This paper brings together your understanding of geography from across the course to examine a specified place. It will link to themes e.g. players, attitudes and actions; futures and uncertainties. 4: Independent Investigation (Coursework 20%) This involves 4 days of fieldwork over two years (we visit London and Dorset) and is an opportunity for you to specialise in an area that interests you. You will define and investigate a question of your choice, then collect qualitative and quantitative data, and present, analyse and evaluate it, to develop your geographical understanding.
