What the college says

What is the Course About? Why does there seem to be an increasing number of natural disasters around the world in recent years? Why is the gap between the wealth of rich and poor countries growing? What caused the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004? These are some of the questions we will try to answer in A-Level Geography along with many more. The course content is divided between physical and human topics and includes tectonic hazards, superpower geographies, climate change and globalisation. We look at the processes that cause change and the impacts of that change on human activity. Interpretation of geographical data and fieldwork are integral parts of the course. A residential visit to North Devon takes place in March of year 12.
