What the college says

The new Edexcel specification offers an issues-based approach to studying geography, enabling students to explore and evaluate contemporary geographical questions and issues such as the consequences of globalisation, responses to hazards, water insecurity and climate change. The course is offered as a full A Level. Geography students are required to: ▪ Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of places, environments, concepts, processes, interactions and change, at a variety of scales ▪ Apply knowledge and understanding in different contexts to interpret, analyse and evaluate geographical information and issues ▪ Use a variety of relevant quantitative, qualitative and fieldwork skills Geography is a dynamic subject that makes direct use of examples drawn from contemporary events. Fieldwork is integral to the study of the subject and is included in curriculum time, totalling 6 days over the two years of the course. In addition, maximum advantage is taken of bespoke A Level Study Days organised by the Royal Geographical Society, which all students are strongly encouraged to attend.
