What the college says

This course can either be studied at Wakefield College or Selby College. Geography relates to the world around us, it is topical, exciting and you are always actively involved in learning, either in the classroom or on field trips. Geography is suitable for anyone who has an interest in the study of the earth’s landscapes, people, places and environments. It informs us about the places and communities in which we live and work, our natural environments and the pressures they face, the interconnectedness of the world and our communities within it and how and why the world is changing. Lessons focus on: Introducing new topics and ideas Case study research Checking understanding Applying your learning to the exam Practicing skills such as data manipulation and mapwork Practical skills are essential at A Level, so some lessons are spent outside the classroom, giving you the opportunity to test geographical ideas in the real world.

All the resources you will need are stored online and many activities will be computer based in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
