We inhabit Planet Earth, so it is essential to know about how our world operates; the processes, the systems, the interaction between the natural and human environments, and how we can conserve what we have taken for granted for so many years. Geography’s scope is wide, encompassing the geophysical forces that created our landscape to the human forces that have shaped our societies. As a subject that bridges both the social and physical sciences, Geography has been named by the Russell Group of universities as a key facilitating subject. For those wanting to follow careers in the sciences or arts, or those who are undecided about their university focus, an A Level in Geography will provide a broad range of transferable skills that will be valued by both Higher Education courses and future employers.
You will be expected to have achieved at least a grade 7 in GCSE/IGCSE Mathematics and English Language and a 7 in Geography, or an equivalent qualification, before embarking on this course.
Unit 1: Physical Geography 2.5-hour exam paper worth 40% of the A Level. Unit 2: Human Geography 2.5-hour exam paper worth 40% of the A Level. Unit 3: NEA Coursework Project worth 20% of the A Level. The NEA coursework unit is worth 20% of the full A Level. Students undertake an individual investigation on a topic of their choice, based on either human or physical geography. This will incorporate primary field data collected individually or in groups. Students then work independently on contextualising, analysing and reporting their work to produce an independent investigation report of approximately 4000 words.
