Geography

Course summary

Many Benenden A Level Geographers go on to study Geography at university. Geographers are very employable due to the wide range of enquiry-based skills meaning they are equipped for the rapidly changing workplace. The specification we follow at Benenden has been designed to increase the contemporary nature of the subject. There are opportunities for specialisation and progression to higher education and employment. There will be natural progression from GCSE to GCE, ensuring that there is development of content as well as some new areas such as Energy and Climatology, not previously studied. Students will be given the opportunity to develop fieldwork skills and study geographical issues and impacts. Climate change, Conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, Overpopulation and Ebola are just some of the topics we study. If you find the news and the world we live in interesting – you will love Geography.
