Geography is a broad and enabling subject, highly regarded by Russell Group Universities. You will develop a range of transferable skills, working on your analytical, investigative, numerical and written skills, as well as incorporating new technologies. The content will inspire you to engage critically with real world issues and places, and apply your knowledge, theory and skills to the world around you. Students grow as independent thinkers and as informed and engaged citizens, who understand the role and importance of geography as one of the key disciplines relevant to understanding the world’s changing peoples, places and environments. 

Fieldwork is an integral part of your studies giving you an experience of both human and physical fieldwork (you will complete 4 days in total across Y12 and Y13). You will learn a variety of data collection skills and test core topic theories learnt in the classroom. From this you will complete an independent piece of coursework worth 20% of your A-Level.

There is also the opportunity to become a Geography ambassador as part of enrichment, by helping out in a KS3/KS4 lesson and providing support to learners. This in turn develops your geographical understanding.
