Geography is a broad-based subject and can be suitably combined with almost any other subject options. It enables learners to view and approach an issue or problem differently to other disciplines, as it considers the relationships between people and the environment, the importance of spatial variability, the processes operating at multiple and interlocking geographic scales and the integration of spatial and temporal analysis. Studying Geography can be a useful bridge between arts and sciences as well as providing an appropriate and widely accepted qualification for a range of higher education and career choices.
Minimum I/GCSE Grade 6 on the 9-1 scale (if studied at I/GCSE). To follow this course, it is not a requirement to have studied a GCSE in Geography. However, doing so will have given you a good grounding in the subject. It is expected that you will have gained at least a grade 6 if you have studied GCSE Geography. What is more important is that you have a genuine interest in the wider world around you and in current geographical issues. You should be prepared to explore new ideas, undertake individual research and develop your communication skills to a high level. You need to be well organised and motivated.
Assessment includes a mix of structured and essay questions across 3 written papers and coursework. This is a piece of individual, investigative research on a topic of the student's choice from within the specification content, comprising 3,000 - 4,000 words.
