What the college says

A Level Geography offers a natural progression from GCSE. We ask students to look at contemporary and topical issues, challenging them to consider their place in the world. This engaging and flexible course gives students the opportunity to: • study the relationship between human populations with their physical environment at a variety of scales from the local to the global; • consider their own role in relation to themes and issues being studied and the roles, values and attitudes of others including decision makers. The specification follows an issues and impacts approach to contemporary Geography that is suitable for all students. Topics range from Tectonic Processes and Change to Globalisation, from Coasts to Superpowers and Health, Human Rights and Intervention. We want students who: Show a genuine appreciation of our changing world and use a wide range of skills, which they can apply to a variety of situations; can work independently on a task or take an active role in a small group. Students should enjoy lively debate and appreciate how we as individuals can influence the future of our planet. Geographers should be competent in using ICT.
