What the college says

Do you have a passionate interest in the wider world, be it curiosity about how a landscape has formed, or an interest in how a community might be affected by trans-national corporations? Geography (human and physical) is at the core of understanding how and why the modern world is so complex and ever changing. We explore how to interpret our changing world in a wide range of circumstances; the complex connections between societies, economies, cultures and environments, both locally and on a wider scale, and why sustainable development is so important in a broader context. A Level Geography can open doors to both BA and BSc degree courses; students have progressed on to degrees in Geography, Economics, Geology, Sociology, Ecology, Marine Biology, Law, Oceanography, Business, Media and many more; you can also pursue more vocational routes such as Land Management Diplomas, Advanced GNVQs in Health and Social Care and Travel & Tourism. Opportunities: Current fieldwork opportunities include Residential Fieldwork at Swanage (Crowded Coasts) and optional international fieldwork (Rebranding Places). We also offer opportunities to attend Geographical Association lectures and Royal Geographical Society study days. Contact: Head of Geography - jcross@ashlyns.herts.sch.uk
