Geography (A-Level)

A-Level

The Guardian has previously claimed Advanced Level Geography was the ‘must have subject’ as it is the ‘subject for our times’.There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography. This cutting-edge subject is continually evolving due to the nature of the course content – there are always relevant examples and case studies being reported in the news. It is demanding but rewarding and will provide students with a well-rounded understanding of the contemporary world.

Outline

During this course, students will learn about a range of pressing issues, such as climate change, migration, environmental damage and the widening development gap. Geography is identified as a facilitating subject by Russell Group Universities due to the level of academic rigour in the course and the wide range of transferable skills that students will acquire.Students will also undertake three examinations throughout the two year course based on physical geography, human geography and synoptic investigation. Students will also have a coursework component that allows them to select an issue or an area of interest, in which they can conduct a piece of geographical research using the skills they have learnt.

Entry Requirements

Students will need a minimum of three grade 4s and three grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 5 in English and Maths. Additional Information: We will consider 1 Vocational qualification in place of a GCSE as long as a grade 5 is achieved in English.
