Geography

Course summary

Why do malaria rates vary so much in Ethiopia? What is the role of architects in urban regeneration? How will sea level rise affect our coastlines? How will the growth of oil and gas exploration in the Arctic impact the landscape? Which organisations have the greatest role in tackling human rights issues in areas of conflict? As you can see from these questions, tackled within the A-Level Geography course, Geography is a broad subject that brings together the natural and human processes which shape every aspect of our lives and our planet. Today’s world is very different from the one we lived in even a few years ago, and the issues facing our world are inherently geographical. Geography has never been more relevant and important. By studying Geography at A Level you will develop a range of essential skills to support a wide range of courses at University and in the world of work. Through exciting topics, ranging from Migration to Natural Hazards, you will unpick the debates surrounding contemporary challenges facing the world today. You will be critical and reflective learners, able to articulate opinions, suggest relevant new ideas and provide evidenced arguments in a range of situations.
