What the college says

Most importantly, because you have a passion and genuine interest for the subject, and you want to extend and develop your knowledge and understanding further. A Level offers new and interesting topics not covered at GCSE. Geography is highly valued by universities and combines well with both arts and science subjects. It is also one of the most employable degrees, as employers value the wide range of skills that Geography graduates have, along with an ability to think like a geographer. Researching, presenting, referencing, critical thinking, map-reading and scientific reasoning skills will all be honed along with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. A Level Geography will also provide you with the opportunity to undertake both human and physical Geography fieldwork.
