The Edexcel Geography course provides an engaging and contemporary issues-based approach. Students are able to explore and evaluate contemporary geographical questions and issues such as the consequences of globalisation and responses to natural hazards. This course will continue to provide students with far more than just geographical knowledge: they will gain confidence in geographical skills and undertake assessments which build on knowledge gained at GCSE and help them to succeed.
A good grade (minimum 6) at GCSE Geography will provide students with a valuable foundation for further studies, as well as many useful skills. However, student suitability will be considered on an individual basis, with a good work ethic and a willingness to tackle fieldwork being essential requirements.
• Paper 1 (9GEO/01) 2 hours 15 minutes (30% of A Level) Tectonic Processes and hazards, Landscape systems, processes and change (Coastal Landscapes option), Water cycle and water insecurity, carbon cycle and energy insecurity, climate change futures. • Paper 2 (9GEO/02) 2 hours 15 minutes (30% of A Level) Globalisation, Shaping places (Regenerating places and diverse places), Superpowers and Global development and connections (Health, human rights and intervention option). • Paper 3 (9GEO/03) 2 hours 15 minutes (20% of A Level). Three synoptic themes within the compulsory content areas were explored. The synoptic investigation will be based on a geographical issue and rooted in two or more content areas. • Coursework: Independent Investigation (20% of A Level). This will be internally assessed and is where the student can investigate an issue or investigation.
