What the college says
Geography is highly valued by universities as an A Level choice. Geographers are among the most employable university graduates because of the broad range of skills they develop. The subject gives students a perspective on a wide range of exciting issues such as tourism impacts, managing natural hazards, globalisation and population pressures. Geography is uniquely both a science and humanity, complementing a wide range of other A Level options. From the global scale through to the local, Geography is an ever changing discipline. Whether you prefer the physical side or the human, A Level Geography leads naturally to university-level courses. Recognised as a 'facilitator' subject by Russell Group universities, Geography allows students to progress to the top universities.
