What the college says

Geography suits a wide range of students. It develops skills such as extended writing, numerical and data analysis, IT research, mapping, fieldwork and coursework skills. It combines well with other subjects from the arts or sciences. You will be offered opportunities to visit a variety of sites and locations, some of which are compulsory and others which are recommended but optional. This will include fieldwork in the local area, and opportunities to visit other significant local sites, as well as the option of a foreign trip (Croatia and France have been previous destinations). We organise lectures by university academics and professionals. A successful Geography student would: take an interest in the world around you, do extra “reading around the subject” not just doing work which you have been set, arrive fully prepared for lessons, learn and use appropriate terminology, be prepared to have a go at more advanced activities and both ask and answer questions in class. The course is 20% coursework, and 80% external exam. This subject goes well with Humanities subjects such as History, Classical Civilisation and English Literature or Language. Additionally it complements science subjects like Biology or Environmental Science, and social sciences such as Psychology and Sociology.
