Geography (A Level)

UPDATED 20161024 11:41:10

Where does it lead? Geography is highly valued by universities as an A-Level choice. Geographers are among the most employable university graduates because of the broad range of skills they develop. The subject gives students a perspective on a wide range of exciting issues such as tourism impacts, managing natural hazards, globalisation and population pressures. Geography is uniquely both a science and humanity, complementing a wide range of other A-Level options. From the global scale through to the local, Geography is an ever changing discipline. Whether you prefer the physical side or the human, A-Level Geography leads naturally to university-level courses. Recognised as a 'facilitator' subject by Russell Group universities, Geography allows students to progress to the top universities. Geographers have the ability to plan, collect and analyse primary data; synthesise and evaluate a variety of data sources, and target plan and progress through their own learning journey. You can expect to: • Develop understanding of global issues and broaden global perspectives. • Learn new exciting content. • Engage with very topical and up to date case studies and topic content. • Attend AS fieldtrip to investigate and support AS modules (small cost involved). • Attend A2 residential fieldtrip to North Wales (cost involved), to study fieldwork skills. • Develop a range of skills – presentations, essays, projects, ICT skills. • Be part of a department with consistently outstanding A-Level results. • Enjoy the course!
