This qualification is engaging and relevant to today’s geographers – a qualification that enables students to engage critically with real world issues and places, apply their own geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to make sense of the world around them, and to help prepare them to succeed in their chosen pathway. There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography. A Level geographers will study a range of contemporary issues which are relevant to our changing world, such as: global hazards, climate change, globalisation, sustainable development, migration, environmental degradation, water conflicts, superpowers, technology, energy security and social inequality. With the breadth of knowledge that can be gained by studying geography, it is one of the most relevant subjects you could choose to study.
Ideally, prospective students should have achieved at least a grade 5 in GCSE English, Science and Mathematics. Students who have studied Geography at GCSE and have achieved a grade 6 should find the course perfectly accessible. Able and highly motivated students who have not studied GCSE Geography may take the course.
The course is assessed through three written examinations and one coursework project worth 20% of the A Level. You will complete a minimum of four days of fieldwork. All Geography students must keep themselves informed of current affairs and will need to keep up with wider reading, such as studying subject-related magazines and journals.
