A Level of Geography brings a range of opportunities for students to enhance their knowledge and understanding of contemporary challenges facing the world today. Students will learn about the prevalent global issues through topics such as Superpower Geographies and Energy Security, along with more traditional topics such as Globalisation and Tectonic Landscapes. Geography is widely recognized as one of the most highly regarded subjects by employers, as students develop a wide range of skills, knowledge, and understanding of our increasingly shrinking world. There are three exams.
5 GCSE 9-5, including Math and English. 6 in Geography.
Unit 1 - 2 ½ hour exam - tectonic hazards, coastal landscapes, the water cycle, and the carbon cycle. Unit 2 –2 ½ hour exam - globalization, superpower geographies, diverse places, migration and sovereignty. Unit 3 - 1 hour 45 minute exam - synoptic paper based on all of the above topics. Unit 4 - independent report. This is a piece of coursework submitted towards the end of Year 13, which will largely be based on a residential field trip carried out during Year 12. It will be around 5000 words in length. There will be 8 X 1-hour lessons per fortnight.
