What the college says
This AQA course has been designed to build on the knowledge and skills acquired at GCSE. It will appeal to those students who are interested in debates and issues about the world today. Fieldwork and research skills are key features of the course. We believe that out-of-classroom activities add to the enjoyment and relevance of Geography. AS component 2 and A Level component 3 are both based on a residential field-trip that takes place in Year 12. There will be further fieldwork in Year 13 to support the course.
