This AQA course has been designed to build on the knowledge and skills acquired at GCSE. It will appeal to those students who are interested in debates and issues about the world today. Fieldwork and research skills are key features of the course. We believe that out-of-classroom activities add to the enjoyment and relevance of geography. AS component 2 and A level component 3 are both based on a residential field-trip that takes place in Year 12. There will be further fieldwork in Year 13 to support the course.
You should have achieved a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4 including Geography, English and Maths with Grade 6 in Geography and Grade 5 in English and Maths.
There is no coursework for AS Geography, instead there are two examinations. Both are taken in the summer term. The examinations assess your ability to analyse evidence from sources and to use that analysis to support your answers. Fieldwork knowledge and skills are tested in Component 2.
