Geography is the study of the world we live in and the interrelationships between people and their environment. The subject is uniquely positioned to understand and interpret some of the major issues facing the world today such as climate change, globalization, and management of the world’s resources. Fieldwork gives students the opportunity for hands-on, out-of-class learning. Geography is a broad-based academic subject seen by employers and universities as robust, academic, and rich in skills, knowledge, and understanding. As a subject linking the arts and sciences, it is highly flexible in terms of what it may be combined with at the A level. Geography is valued by universities as an A-level choice and as a facilitating subject that helps keep options open. A Level: This is a two-year course. In Year 1, there is one human geography theme and one physical geography theme along with geographical skills and fieldwork requirements that combine both themes. Topic 1 (Dynamic Landscapes) covers tectonic processes and hazards as well as coastal landscapes. Topic 2 (Dynamic Places) covers globalization and regenerating places. In Year 2, the A Level course is made up of these topics: the water cycle and water insecurity, the carbon cycle and energy security, superpowers and migration, and national identity and sovereignty. This is in addition to geographical skills and fieldwork requirements. Both years enable students to be inspired by their geographical understanding, to engage critically with real-world issues and places, and to apply their geographical knowledge, theory, and skills to the world around them. Students will grow as independent thinkers and as informed and engaged citizens, who understand the role and importance of geography as one of the key disciplines relevant to understanding the world’s changing peoples, places, and environments.
GCSE average grade requirements: 5.0+ An average of 5.5 QCA points, including a 5 in Geography. If Geography was not studied then a 6 in English Language.
