Where is the most hazardous place on earth? Why do children starve in a world of plenty? What will the outline of Britain look like if sea levels rise due to global warming? Why are the tropical rain forests so species rich? Where are the hottest, driest, coldest and wettest places on earth and why? Which people live the longest and why? If any of these questions interest you then you should consider doing Geography! Geography is all about studying the interactions that occur between people and their environments. As such, it deals with many contemporary issues of global importance and is underpinned by a concern with finding ways to develop sustainably. Many of our students go on to study Geography or related subjects at university. Geography combines well with most other subjects especially Geology. Employment in the use of geographical information systems (GIS) continues to be a big growth area and we have had a number of recent students go on to research and work in this field. There will be a balance of physical and human geography themes and an emphasis on people-environment interaction. Practical fieldwork is included in this course (A level 4 days). An independent field work investigation is required for the A level qualification (20% of final grade).
