What the college says

Geography is a topical, wide ranging subject that has something to interest all students. At AS Level you will study the Human Geography topics of managing urban change, managing rural change and the growth of tourism. The Physical Geography topics are river environments, coastal environments and cold environments. A Level work covers earth hazards, eco-systems and environments under threat, resources and globalisation. Fieldwork investigation skills are learned throughout with both residential and non-residential opportunities. Where does this subject lead? Geography can be easily linked with most other subjects and a large and diverse number of careers are open to geographers, such as those in land use planning, leisure, surveying, water resources and tourism. The subject can be studied at university where a single subject degree in Geography can be read, or a specialised branch of Geography such as hydrography, geoscience, marine geography, geographical information systems and geography of development. You might even consider teaching.

GCSE grade C or above in Geography is normally expected. We will sometimes consider students who have not followed a GCSE Geography course if they can demonstrate the necessary commitment and aptitude.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
