Geography

Course summary

Do you want to be able to demonstrate a wide range of skills to future employers? Geography acts as a bridge between the Sciences and the Humanities and therefore can be combined appropriately with a wide range of other studies, from Physics and Mathematics to Languages, History and Business Studies. Students find the course develops their ability to express themselves effectively in writing and in basic statistics, and to design, carry out and present a project or investigation. These skilIs are relevant to a wide range of careers and courses of study. Fieldwork is an essential part of A Level studies and it provides students with some of their most fulfilling aspects of sixth form study. Across the course students have the opportunity to visit places from local to global locations, including investigations of fluvial action in the River Stour and Gentrification in Notting Hill, London. There are also exciting optional fieldtrips to Iceland and possibly even more exotic places, on a semi-regular basis.
