From climate change to natural disasters, and globalisation to inner-city deprivation, Geography is the subject of our times. At its heart, Geography is about finding patterns in the chaos, and when you have a deep and secure knowledge of Geography, the world starts to make sense. As well as traditionally being a strong academic subject, Geography encourages ways of seeing and thinking about the planet that will ensure you are ready to face the changing world ahead.
A minimum of grade 6 in geography GCSE.
There are two written examinations which test your knowledge and understanding of geographical themes, concepts, and processes. Each paper is worth 40% of your final grade and covers a range of question styles from single-mark multiple-choice questions, to 20-mark essay questions. In addition to the written papers, there is also a 3,000 - 4,000 word independent research piece based on data gathered from the field. This is an opportunity for geographers to shape their own learning when undertaking a Geographical Investigation which incorporates both fieldwork and research to investigate a chosen topic. This forms the Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) component of the course.
