You will study A Level Geography through the AQA course, covering six modules along with an NEA, or piece of coursework in student speak! Topics you will cover are split into Human and Physical Geography, although the best students will appreciate that the two areas are interdependent of each other. Topics will include Hazard Management, Water and Carbon Cycles, Hot Deserts, Global Systems and Governance, Contemporary Urban Environments and Changing Places.
You will have achieved at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and Maths, and have achieved at least a grade 5 in Geography at GCSE.
Assessment involves written papers in both Human and Physical Geography which last 2 ½ hrs each, both taken at the end of the two year course. The NEA (nonexamined assessment), or coursework, is completed during Yr13 and is an investigation completely of the student’s own choosing which must be linked to a concept they have studied during the course. During the year students are assessed in a number of ways including practice exam questions, group presentations, individual research projects and team tasks.
