What the college says

Geography equips you with knowledge and skills which are highly valued by universities and employers. Studying Geography at A-Level enables students to develop their literacy, numeracy, analytic and evaluative skill sets by applying a depth of spatial and conceptual knowledge within the human and physical domains. In addition, students are required to create and plan their own research project through the non-examined assessment element. This is excellent preparation for both further study at university and future employment. The study of Geography enables you to think critically, within a temporal and spatial context considering local, regional, national and international scales. Our aim is to create independent learners, critical thinkers and decision makers – all personal assets that can make students stand out as they progress to higher education or the workplace.
