Geography

Course summary

Our A level is designed to excite students’ minds, challenge perceptions and stimulate their investigative and analytical skills. The units we study reflect what’s happening in the world today, ranging from geopolitics to climate change, as well as allowing students to expand on more traditional topics such as coastal landscapes and the water cycle. The course provides a smooth transition from GCSE to Advanced level. A variety of fieldwork is integrated into the course, and the skills and knowledge students gain from this subject at A-level are relevant to almost all jobs and workplaces. Geographers are some of the most employable graduates, and the subject is seen as a ‘facilitating’ subject for the Russell Group universities.
