What the college says

A Level Geography is designed to follow on from GCSE. The specification is divided into Human and Physical Geography, identical to GCSE Geography. The topics we teach are designed to reflect world issues in an ever-changing world. The physical topics are Coastal Systems and Landscapes, the Water and Carbon cycles and hazards, and the human topics are Changing Urban Environments, Global Systems and Global Governance and Changing Places. Students also have to complete an independent fieldwork investigation in which they must come up with their own hypothesis, plan their fieldwork and methods, and implement their study. This is to help students build on their independent skills in preparation for University. The two year course involves all students undertaking fieldwork in relation to processes in both Physical and Human Geography. The students will undertake four days of fieldwork during their A-Level course, both local and further afield. The summary of components is as follows: • Physical Geography • Human Geography • Geography Fieldwork Investigation • Geographical Skills
