What the college says

Geography is relevant to the world we live in and it tackles issues that affect us. It helps us understand different cultures, develops sensitivity and tolerance, helps promote environmental responsibility and helps us make sense of a highly interconnected world. It leads to a better understanding of the concept of place and its importance in our world and will help develop your ‘Geographical intelligence’, which is your ability to link together different areas of study, to understand the concept of scale and to apply a high degree of critical analysis to what you read, hear and see.

What you need to get on

Students will need to attain at least a high 5, although a 6 is strongly recommended, at GCSE in Geography and at least a 5 in English and in Maths due to the nature of the A-level course which requires high level literacy and statistical skills. In addition, students will need to have an attainment 8 average score of over 5.0. If students have not taken GCSE Geography then an attainment 8 average score of 7.0 or above is necessary and suitability must be discussed with the head of department on a case by case basis.
