Geography encompasses a wide range of topics and skills and allows us to understand basic physical systems that affect everyday life (eg. earth-sun relationships, water cycles, wind, and ocean currents). It also allows us to learn about the concept of place and the physical and cultural characteristics of those places in order to function more effectively in our increasingly globalized and interdependent world. Employers and universities see Geography as a robust academic subject, rich in skills, knowledge, and understanding. As a subject linking the arts and the sciences, it is highly flexible in terms of what you can combine it with at A Level. If you choose to take Geography on to university, there is a range of broad more specialized courses to choose from, giving students a range of career opportunities. We study the Edexcel A Level specification which has an equal split between human and physical topics. On the physical side of the course, we will look into Tectonic Hazards, Glaciation, Water and Carbon Cycles, and the global insecurities associated with them. Within our study of the human aspects of Geography, we will look at Globalisation, Regenerating Places, Superpowers, and Migration, Identity, and sovereignty. The topics are dynamic and relevant and link well across a range of subjects.
Maths GCSE Req. 4 English GCSE Req. 4 Other Req. Refer to department if not taken at GCSE Desirable Qualifications: GCSE Geography at grade 6 or above is desirable. If not, refer to department for advice.
