What the college says

The course is designed to develop sound knowledge and understanding of geographical issues and to develop and use geographical skills. There is a balance between physical and human geography, covering some topics already studied at GCSE. Topical issues such as the challenges surrounding key resources e.g. water and the changing dynamics of global geo-politics are also investigated. The use of statistical methods and the collection and analysis of data is an integral part of the course and a four day fieldwork residential is organised for Year 12 students to complete their NEA. In addition, the department runs a bi-annual international visit to places such as Iceland and Naples.
