Geography is the study of the human and physical forces of change affecting the earth. It is about the relationship between people and their environment. As well as investigating important topical issues, you will acquire and develop a wide range of cross-curricular skills such as problem solving and decision making, ICT and statistical analysis. Fieldwork plays an essential role in geographical study and research into elements of both physical and human geography. Fieldwork is likely to be undertaken in collaboration with King’s High at the Cranedale centre in Yorkshire. For many students, the chance to study the environment at first-hand is the highlight of the A-level course, and this is continued into Year 13 when students get to investigate a geographical enquiry of their own choice.
Ideally you should attain a grade 6 or above in your GCSE examination.
There are three examinations at the end of the two year course. The first covers all the physical topics and the second, the human topics. There are structured as well as essay type questions. The third covers both Geographical Debates and consists of structured, synoptic as well as longer, more developed essay questions. In addition, students in Year 13 complete an independent investigation worth 20% of the final A-level.
