Geography

Course summary

Geography is an extremely versatile subject; it can be classed as both a Science and an Art, making it very favourably looked upon by universities and employers alike. The Geography course equips students with a wide range of skills both analytical and discursive. Geographers are able to undertake fieldwork, analyse and evaluate data whilst also understanding both the human and physical world around them. Fieldwork is an invaluable aspect of A-level Geography and students must complete four days of fieldwork; these four days will include both Human and Physical Geography. Past local destinations have included Birmingham and Carding Mill Valley, whilst there have been opportunities to venture further afield and undertake fieldwork in Morocco, Spain and Iceland.
