What the college says
Examination Board: AQA Although it is helpful to have studied Geography at GCSE level it is not a necessary requirement for this course. We follow the AQA Geography course, which has a balanced mix of human, physical and environmental geography. The A level Geography course investigates many of the complex issues facing the world and its people in the 21st Century. Students explore a wide range of topics such as climate change, globalisation, urban regeneration and management of global resources. Geography will appeal to students who are interested in the world’s places, people and environments. The course allows students to think independently, explore global and local issues in depth and develop research and fieldwork skills.
