Geography is the study of the world around us and as such is a very well respected discipline. The AS and A2 Level courses are both centred on relationships between humans and their environment. The course aims to consider the geographical relationships between people and their environment but also to teach students how to use geographical techniques to collect, analyse and interpret information. Why study Geography? Geography students ask questions: What is the quality of life like here? Why do we need coastal defences here? In a rapidly changing world, the skills and knowledge gained through the study of Geography will be invaluable to citizens and decision makers of the 21st century. The study of Geography will equip you with the skills that will allow you to play a full part in our changing world.
