AS Level in Geography

UPDATED 20161019 13:01:37

Geography is unique in its position as a bridge between the Arts and the Sciences. It allows the sciencespecialist to develop important literary skills and the arts specialist to develop important numeracy and graphical skills. It is especially attractive to those who want to maintain links with the real world outside the classroom. The course focuses on the rapidly changing world around us and concentrates on the relationship between people and their environments. In studying it you will discuss, critically, many controversial issues such as growing cities, energy resources and world food supply. In Year 12 students cover their AS course. This is balanced between Physical Geography (rivers, floods and management/cold environments) and Human Geography (population changehealth issues), with one teacher for each part. Students are assessed by a 2 hour content focused examination and a 1 hour skills focused exam at the end of the year.
