Studying Geography helps us to understand many of the issues we face in Britain and globally, such as how we might respond to the impact of climate change or be better prepared for natural hazards. It is the new research undertaken by geographers that is informing the debate about these challenges and helping us to navigate through the world’s geographically complex people, places and environments. The course aims to develop an enthusiasm for and competence in geography by using contemporary real-world contexts. The specification draws on both physical and human geography, explores people–environment interactions, and encourages fieldwork. 1. Changing Landscapes and Changing Places • Glaciated Landscapes • Changing Places 2. Global Systems and Global Governance • Water and Carbon Cycles • Processes and patterns of global migration and global governance of the Earth’s oceans 3. Contemporary Themes in Geography • Four optional themes: Ecosystems, Economic Growth and Challenge: India or China or Development in an African Context, Energy Challenges and Dilemmas and Weather and Climate Two essay questions chosen from these four optional themes.
Offers of places will be made based on predicted GCSE Grades and applicants will require at least 5 passes at Grade 5 or above; at least a 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level except for Mathematics and the Sciences in which the candidate must have achieved at least a Grade 7.
