What the college says

The course exploits the geographer’s natural curiosity and concern about major contemporary issues. It is geography’s ability to integrate the study of the Earth’s places, peoples, environments and societies that makes it so relevant to the understanding of the increasingly inter-connected world in which we all live and work. At A Level, students will study both human and physical geography units of work, focusing on the interactions both within and between societies, economies, cultures and environments at a variety of scales. They will be taught to recognise the challenges of sustainability and the implications for their own and others’ lives. Fieldwork, involving both the individual and the group, is an important element of the course and all students are required to undertake four days of fieldwork.
