The AQA specification will excite students’ minds, challenge perceptions and stimulate their investigative and analytical skills. The units of study include a diverse range of physical and human geographical issues, alongside an individual investigation that will be developed by the students themselves. Students will engage with a range of quantitative and relevant qualitative skills, within both human and physical themes. These will include observation skills, measurement and geospatial mapping skills and data manipulation and statistical skills including those associated with and arising from fieldwork.
