This is a new and exciting AS/A2 Course which focuses upon people and environments. At all stages the emphasis is on investigating topical issues that can affect all of our lives now and in the future. These might include flooding, climate change, inner city decline and rapidly changing urban and rural landscapes. The approach in lessons is varied, emphasis being on staff guidance and motivation, with students being encouraged to develop their skills and strengths. A variety of teaching and learning styles will be adopted including geographical enquiry, problem solving, decision making, debate, seminar presentation and supported self study. Fieldwork is an essential and integral part of both AS and A Level Geography. Practical skills are used frequently not only to develop those skills but also to enhance knowledge and understanding of the subject as a whole.
