What you'll study
A-Level Geography is known as a facilitating subject, because the wide range of transferable skills you will develop are looked at favourably by employers and universities. You will study both physical and human geography, and learn about hazards, globalisation, glaciation and changing places amongst many other themes.
What you'll love
You get the chance to get outside of the classroom on 4 field trips (both day and residential). We travel to Snowdonia in North Wales, as well as days out in the local area. 20% of the A-Level is coursework, which is a project entirely of your choosing - so you can develop those research, presentation and analysis skills in preparation for your future career.
Why take it?
Varied skills; Geography develops the vast majority of skills; more than any other option choice
Relevance; Geography is topical and in the news daily, Geography brings in the past, Geography looks at the present, Geography considers and theorises about the future
General knowledge; Geography develops your ‘savviness’ as a person
Geography is both an Art (BA) and a Science (BSc) – no other subject provides this!
