Geography

Course summary

Geography has always been one of the most popular choices at both A Level and university. Having undergone some significant changes the course has introduced some new topics and offers students more choice, whilst encouraging the acquisition of a broad range of skills along with lifelong learning. The study of geography provides the opportunity to look at contemporary and topical issues which can be related to the world in which we live. It emphasises the changes that are taking place at a range of differing scales and helps us develop an understanding of the relationships between people and their environment. Included in our A Level course is a three-day residential fieldtrip to the Cranedale Field Study Centre near Malton in North Yorkshire.
