A Level Geography QAN code 60184176/3910 Geography essentially concentrates on the natural world and current global issues. It combines well with a wide range of subjects both in the sciences and the arts. This exciting syllabus offers pupils a modern look at topically-hot and current geography issues. Its contemporary structure explicitly studies the relationship of human populations to each other over space and time and their relationship with their physical environment at a variety of scales from the local to the global. The course can enable you to widen your knowledge and understanding of worldwide current affairs and global issues. It offers a balance of human and physical geography; studying concepts that range from tectonic processes and hazards to the world’s superpowers. Emphasis is given to geographical skills, which are enhanced by a residential fieldtrip to the Lake District or Scarborough. This will give you the opportunity to work in teams; collecting, presenting and analysing data, bringing the subject to life and to study processes at work and reinforce the theory taught in lessons. Over the course of the two years, you will study a wide range of topics including Tectonic Processes and Hazards, Superpowers, Glaciation or Coasts, Global Development and Water Insecurity.
A minimum of five GCSE passes at grades 4 or 5 including English Language and Maths. Students must then meet subject specific typical minimum entry requirements (listed below).
Pupils are assessed through three 2 hour 15 minute examinations worth 30%, 30% and 20% respectively each. The final 20% of their grade comes from an independent investigation.
