A Level Geography
at Cardinal Newman College, Preston · college
What the college says
Geography is about the study of people and places. In A Level Geography, you will look at how the human and physical worlds interact, how people affect their environment and how the environment affects them. Geography also develops your use of a range of transferable skills including numeracy and statistics when manipulating data, and graphical and cartographic skills when displaying and interpreting data. The subject helps you to improve vital literacy skills when reading source material and communicating arguments through essay based responses. This new A Level specification will allow you to engage with the idea of �place� and help you interpret how different groups of people understand places from the local to the global.
