Geography

Course summary

Geography is the subject which explicitly engages with the relationship of human populations to each other over space and time, and their relationship with their environment at a variety of scales. Interpreting the world from a geographical stance involves challenging assumptions and critiquing evidence from a diverse range of stakeholders and sources. Geography at A-Level incorporates classic units of study including hazards and coastal environments, as well as ideas and themes influenced more by undergraduate study including global governance and changing places. The course includes a varied mix of content and skills, including observation, measurement, geospatial mapping skills, data manipulation and statistical tests, and fieldwork skills. The transferrable skills acquired, including technical and interpersonal, are highly desirable and sought after by future employers.
