What the college says

Students who choose to study Geography must be interested in finding out about different environments and current global issues. They will be expected to study the subject both inside and outside the classroom and should take an interest in the geography in the newspapers and on television. The subject is studied through a variety of media; books, lectures, magazines, the internet and fieldwork. Students should be capable of working on their own and in groups and need to develop their own Geographical views based on sound knowledge and understanding. During their studies, Geography students have the opportunity to acquire a wide range of skills, including communication, numeracy, graphicacy, problem solving and decision-making. The wide content of Geography enables it to be a suitable partner to both arts and science subjects at AS level. Thus it is equally comfortable being studied with Mathematics and Physics, as with English and History or Economics and French. The breadth of the subject together with the wide range of skills covered enable Geography students to enter a wide range of courses in Higher Education, such as planning, environmental science, geology, tourism, cartography and geophysics. Further courses in Geography still remain a popular option, however, amongst Judd students. http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-a-levels/geography-2016.html
