The Government and the media frequently make us aware of challenges such as earthquakes, urban changes, climate change and the superpowers of the world. By studying this subject you have an opportunity to explore these problems and to understand the different types of solutions and management schemes that could be used. Geographers are always in great demand for employment because of their ability to analyse data, write reports and generally be part of a team. Geography gives you many transferable skills and an understanding of the world around you. This integrated specification provides all of this and complements many other subjects, especially biology, chemistry, economics, history, mathematics and physics. Links with these subjects help you to understand how the natural world evolves and how human communities have developed and function today. Fieldwork is an integral part of the course and you will attend a residential trip where you will learn the requisite skills and collect information for your independent investigation.
To study at the Stephen Perse Sixth Form, you need IELTS 6.0+ and a minimum of a 7 at (I)GCSE in the subjects you wish to study at A Level (or 8 in Maths for Further Maths). Conditional offers based on (I)GCSE results will be made to each individual applicant.
• Paper 1 (2 hours 15 minutes, 30%) • Paper 2 (2 hours 15 minutes, 30%) • Paper 3 (2 hours 15 minutes, 20%) - A Synoptic Paper which looks at an issue taken from two or more of the topics covered in the previous two papers. The focus will be on the stakeholders, the issues involved and the possible solutions. • Independent Investigation, 20% - A piece of coursework where you come up with the title, plans the investigation and collect the data. This is written up as a 3000-4000 word report.
