On the A-Level Geography course, you will be in class for 4 and a half hours a week. Topics include the Water and Carbon Cycles, Hazards, Glacial Systems, Global Systems and Governance, Resource Security, and Changing Places. These modules cover both human and physical Geography themes. They are taught through a variety of theory sessions, practical activities, and multimedia resources. Classes are complemented by compulsory fieldwork. The Glacial Systems fieldwork will be conducted within the Lake District National Park; a relict glacial landscape of international status. Fieldwork for human modules will be conducted within local and national towns and cities that provide the opportunity to examine economic, political, and demographic themes. This A-level course allows students to develop key intellectual skills such as literacy, numeracy, critical evaluation, and informed decision-making. The course integrates a variety of data sources such as Geographical Information Services (GIS) and fieldwork, therefore allowing students to develop a broad range of research skills. Furthermore, the course will allow students to develop their teamwork, problem-solving solving, and communication skills. In sum, these skills mean that students are empowered to make informed decisions both academically and in the wider world. The course is assessed by two exams at the end of the A-level course: one human and one physical paper. These comprise a total of 80% of the marks and require a combination of short and long written answers, as well as mathematical problem-solving. The remaining 20% of the marks are allocated to the Geographical Fieldwork Investigation. This investigation allows students to develop their independent study skills and explore a topic they feel passionate about.
