Geography is an exciting, all-encompassing discipline which allows one to understand “the earth and everything in, under, over and on it. It encompasses our reminders of yesterday, realities of today and dreams of tomorrow” (Walford, 2001). Furthermore, it is a discipline that is more relevant today than at any other time since the days of Christopher Columbus. However, only at this time are we talking about the Geography of the 21st Century, a geography that gets to grips with some of the world’s most important and pressing issues. The central aim of this is to develop well-rounded, passionate geographers, who will in turn become successful and responsible global citizens. Every day brings a story, in the newspapers or on our TV screens, to which geographers can bring their unique perspective to bear! At AS and A level, students can expect to tackle key ideas and debates in our world today, such as climate change, flooding, globalisation, population, migration and sovereignty, urban regeneration and management of the world’s resources. Students will explore a range of issues and examine potential solutions to them. The two courses are taught concurrently. The expectation is that all students opting for this course would be studying to A level; those wishing to study for just one year (AS) should discuss this with Mr Ellis.
Students should have demonstrated their aptitude for Geography by attaining a Level 5 or above at GCSE level. Even if you have not studied Geography at GCSE but are interested in the world around you, then this course should attract you. A sound knowledge of Science, Maths and English is also helpful.
