Geography

Geography Field Work

The Geography A-Level specification will excite students’ minds, challenge perceptions and stimulate their investigative and analytical skills. Units build upon the knowledge developed at GCSE and encourage students to engage with current global issues. Content is framed by enquiry questions that encourage an investigative and evaluative approach to learning. A holistic understanding of geography will encourage students to make links between different geographical themes, ideas and concepts through synoptic themes embedded in the taught content. 

The Geography course is designed to develop your subject knowledge as well as a wide range of skills that universities and employers are look for including data interpretation and analysis, as well as extended writing and informed decision making exercises. Studying the A-Level Geography course will develop you into a well-rounded academic with opportunities to engage and publish work in academic literature and attend international conferences. Fieldwork compliments the taught content and provides an opportunity for students to engage with the world around them. Exams are sat at the end of Year 13.
