What the college says

Geography at A Level is a stimulating subject, and of special relevance to those who want to make sense of the complex, interconnected globalised world in which we live. Nicholas Crane, president of the Royal Geographical Society, describes geography as an ?academically robust subject which spans the social and physical sciences and promotes a lifelong interest and fascination in how the world works.? The department runs one Post-16 A Level course following the Edexcel specification. Students will study the following topics for Paper 1: tectonic processes and hazards, the water cycle and water insecurity, the carbon cycle and energy security and coastal landscapes and change. For Paper 2, students will study globalisation, superpowers, rebranding places and migration. Paper 3 is a synoptic investigation of a geographical issue, while the remainder of the course is made up of a 3000-4000 word independent investigation on a relevant topic of interest to the student.
