Course summary

It’s an A-level about the world in which we live. Geography is ‘out there’, all around us, from the smallest soil particle and fragment of an ecosystem, to the globalised economy and our shared resources, atmosphere and beyond. The subject helps us to understand the most beautiful of landscapes as well as the context of the toughest of political decisions. It’s a subject that is both historic and current, one that relishes the richness of humanity and the power of nature. It is packed with interesting facts and its study unlocks a whole host of skills, helping the learner to enquire and to evaluate. It results in a fuller, more informed understanding of the relationship between us and our planet. It ultimately improves our ability to debate and to make wise choices.
