This course provides learners with a broad but detailed knowledge of the world around them. This includes the physical environment, but also the human and economic state of the world. It is useful, not only for anybody interested in environmental-based work, but also for those interested in business and finance, as a large part of the course focuses on the economic state of the globe and globalisation. At AS Level (year 1) you will study global themes, including hazards, globalisation and climate change.You will discover how your own actions can relate to the wider world, be it your local area or a distant country. At A2 Level (year 2) you will learn how the world is contested and develop practical research skills in your chosen area. Assessed by coursework and exam. In Year 1 you will have the opportunity to undertake fieldwork and research. Fieldwork can be a great experience and allows you to apply your knowledge and understanding in a practical way. In Year 2 you will also have the opportunity to undertake fieldwork.You won?t be asked directly about fieldwork in your exam but it may help you when discussing your research. Geographers can go to study higher level courses, including Foundation degrees, undergraduate degrees and/or BTEC Higher Nationals in a wide range of subjects, not just geography. Geographers can go into a wide range of jobs, including advertising, education, marketing, environmental management, retail, finance, sales, law, social/health services, surveying, finance and banking, charity work.
