Students who take Geography have a keen interest in the world around them, and a curiosity in how and why the world is a dynamic and changing place. As a subject that bridges both the natural and social sciences, Geography seeks to understand societies, places and environments, and many geographical issues are highly relevant to current issues regularly reported in the media. Universities recognise and value students who have studied Geography as one of their A Levels as Geographers develop a range of valuable and transferable skills which make them more employable and adaptive learners. Students will explore and evaluate contemporary geographical questions and issues such as the consequences of globalisation, responses to hazards, water insecurity and climate change. Student will have the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of physical and human geography, the complexity of people and environment questions and issues, and to become critical, reflective and independent learners. Studying Geography at A Level will help enhance communication skills, literacy and numeracy, ICT (including use of Geographical Information Systems), spatial awareness, team working and problem-solving. Geography by nature is a very practical subject, and fieldwork plays an essential part of the course. There will be a combination of residential and local physical and human fieldwork. This will assessed through questions on examination papers and through an independent investigation.
