Small study groups allow for individual attention and support for all of our geographers and the department is proud to have consistently strong A level results. First-class teaching means our geographers develop a real passion for their subject. Our location in Gloucester allows us to take advantage of the local area as well as travelling further afield to explore human, physical, urban and rural environments. What will I study during the course? You will look at how physical and human systems interrelate and influence each other. A Level topics include: hazards (including the study of volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and wild fires), coastal systems and landscapes, water and carbon cycles, population and the environment, changing places, and global systems and global governance.
At least five GCSE grades at 9-5 / A*-C, with a 6 / B in Geography. If a student wishes to study this A level without taking Geography at GCSE, their case will be given careful consideration. Having strong literacy and numeracy skills is essential and, ideally, pupils taking Geography will have grade 6 or above in GCSE English and Maths. To take this subject in the Sixth Form you should have a lively and enquiring mind, a genuine interest in the physical world, society and environmental issues. A willingness to explore new ideas and discuss contentious issues at length is important, as is the ability to communicate ideas effectively both orally and in writing.
