Geography is one of the most exciting, adventurous and valuable subjects to study today, as many of the world’s current problems boil down to Geography. We need the Geographers of the future to help us understand them. Geography as a subject is one that can keep you future-proofed due to its range of transferable skills. Some of these skills are in demand from organisations across a variety of sectors. Analytical and critical thinking skills are among the abilities employers are looking for in more and more roles. Global warming, sustainable food production, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, the spread of disease, the reasons for migration and the future of energy resources are just some of the great challenges facing the next generation of Geographers.
In order to study Geography at A Level, we would expect a student to have achieved at least a Level 7 at GCSE and also show a passion for developing their understanding beyond their current understanding.
The new AQA linear Geography A Level is composed of three parts: Physical Geography, Human Geography and a Geographical Investigation. 36 Both of the written examination papers are 2 hours 30 minutes in length and each are worth 96 marks and 40% of the A Level. The questions include a variety of styles: multiple choice, short answer, levels of response and extended prose. The 3000-4000 word investigation is worth 35 marks and 20% of the A Level. It is marked by teachers and moderated by AQA. Preparation for this will be carried out at a residential field study centre in the UK over a period of 4 days. The investigation will then be written independently. The individual Geographical Investigation must be based on a question or issue defined and developed by you relating to any part of the specification content.
