The course will have a balance of Human and Physical Geography alongside an evaluation of issues within a geographical context. Physical topics within the course will include hazards, carbon and water cycles and the coastal environment. Human units studied look at urban areas in the Changing Places unit, how the world is run in the Global Governance unit, and population challenges and problems in the Population and Environment unit. All are studied at a variety of scales (local, national, and global). Additional Requirements You will need to undertake fieldwork over a sustained period of time as part of an individual investigation, as well as having the possibility of attending a residential fieldtrip, which will incur a cost.
40 points plus minimum required. Grade 5 or above in GCSE Geography.
There will be 2 examinations, one on Physical Geography and one on Human Geography, both 2 hours and 30 minutes and worth 80% of the qualification. The other 20% is in the form of an internally assessed individual investigation of approximately 3000-4000 words.
