GCE A Level in Geography
at Shelley College, A Share Academy, Huddersfield · college
What the college says
Geography is the study of Earth and how humans interact with it; it is considered by many universities (including the Russell Group universities) as a very desirable A Level and was identified as ‘the must-have A Level’ by The Guardian. Geography also combines well with both Arts and Sciences. The world is in a constant state of change and Geography is the subject that will help you predict and adapt to future changes in both the human and the natural world. It is the subject that looks at major issues of the 21st Century such as changes in global governance and the conflicts it leads to, the changing nature of places, the impacts of climate change and the impacts of natural hazards. It is also a subject that fosters the innovative use of both teacher-led and individual field work which assists the development of skills such as data analysis, teamwork, research skills and report writing.
