Course summary

Described as ‘The must have A Level’ by the Guardian Newspaper, geography in the 21st century is central to understanding the world around us. It allows us to understand the causes of many of the problems in the world, and their consequences to different places. This also includes the problems posed for the sustainable futures of societies, resources and landscapes. The world will need geographers to make a difference and to understand the solutions that are needed to save the world. Geography at A Level allows an in-depth study of subject matter which is topical and wide-ranging, thus providing a useful basis for a variety of career choices. Geography brings together many A Level subjects, acting as a bridge between them.

Entry requirements

We recommend that before embarking on Key Stage 5, pupils should have achieved at least five GCSEs at grade 4 or above with a minimum of a grade 6 in the subjects they wish to study.

How you'll be assessed

The first two components of the course will each be assessed by way of a written examination, lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes, with each paper contributing 40% towards the A Level. The third component will account for the final 20% of the A Level and will be marked internally in school before being sent to the examination board for moderation.
