What the college says

Geography combines well with almost all other A level subjects. Geography is considered by universities as a facilitating subject. Taken with the science and Mathematics, it supports applications for almost any science based university course such as Engineering, Psychology, Environmental Sciences, Oceanography and Geology. Taken with humanities such as English, French, History or Economics, it equally supports a wide range of university course such as Law, Business, Media, Politics and Philosophy. Skills of collecting, analysing and interpreting data, communicating findings and developing links are recognised by employers and universities as being of great value. Geography opens up a wide range of career opportunities; increasingly major UK employers are placing it alongside Economics, Business Management, Science, Mathematics and Engineering as desirable for their subject specific graduate employees. In a globalised economy employers like their employees to know how the world works. Geographers remain amongst the most employable university graduates. This is a two year course and will be examined in year 13.
