What the college says

GCSE Geography students will be familiar with some of the topics outlined below, but at A-Level, deeper and broader understanding is required. The format of the final examination is similar to that of GSCE, with a mixture of shorter response questions and longer essays. A level geography is one of the top facilitating subjects, which means it complements both arts and science subjects. This in turn means it keeps your options open, being as appropriate for someone wanting to study medicine as it is for someone wanting to study law, economics or politics. Geography is by its nature multidisciplinary, which makes it very attractive to employers, with geography university graduates having some of the highest employment rates following completion of their degrees. This is due to the broad range of analytical and written skills that geographers develop. Coursework provides students the opportunity to develop their report writing and academic research skills.
