Geography at the Advanced level combines knowledge and analysis of current issues, develops practical skills, and problem-solving techniques, and allows study at all scales from local to global in different parts of the world and different types of environments. Geography complements all other areas of study because of the great breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills it gives. Geography may be studied in combination with any subject: Mathematics, Sciences, Arts, Humanities, or Languages. The range of skills involved makes you adaptable and opens up a range of career possibilities in different employment sectors. A-level geographers have gone on to study and undertake careers in medicine, law, engineering, dentistry and veterinary sciences as well as in sectors such as financial services, environmental management, business analysis and retail management. The A level will provide students with a vast array of knowledge, understanding and skills that will equip them well for study at University - irrespective of subject choice - and for subsequent employment. Students will follow the OCR specification which builds upon what they will have already studied at GCSE and focuses on developing an understanding of the interrelationships between people and their varied environments, and the questions, issues and problems which arise from those relationships. The specification involves a balanced study of physical, human and other geographical topics, and enables specialisation in an area of particular interest in the student’s investigation report (Unit 4). The A level will include four field days in the Lower Sixth, linked to the study of some of the topics below. In addition, there is the incredibly popular option of visiting Iceland on our biannual expedition.
• GCSE Maths: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • GCSE English or English Language: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • A Level subjects: You must achieve a grade 7, 8, or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects, a minimum of grade 8 or 9 is required (see below) We would ideally like students to have achieved grade 7 – 9 at GCSE.
