A level Geography is designed to deepen your understanding of the world you today and investigates the issues which will shape our future. The course gives students the chance to apply their skills and knowledge in variety of ways, including problem solving exercises. In Year One students complete two units; the first, ‘Dynamic landscapes’, looks at the variety of landscapes found around the world formed by processes relating to Tectonic activity, (volcanoes & earthquakes), the movement of ice and coastal processes. The second unit, ‘Dynamic places’ addresses a range of global issues including; Globalisation and interdependence, inequality of wealth, the migration debate, factors affecting global populations and the challenges of urban living. In Year two students add to the knowledge gained in Year one. ‘Physical systems & Sustainability’ looks at pressing issues relating to the worlds resources in the form of Water insecurity, Climate Change and the challenges of Energy security. ‘Human systems & Geopolitics’ covers a wide range of topical issues including; Changing global superpowers, Human development and health, Migration and conflict – why are some areas more unstable than other, and what makes a National Identity. In addition, students will complete an ‘Independent Investigation’. This marks the reintroduction of Coursework to A-level geography and offers students the opportunity to conduct an investigation into an aspect of Geography they are interest in.
