Geography
Geography explores the fascinating and complex relationships between the human and physical environments that shape our world.
Geography will help you understand the physical processes that create our natural environment as well as how human intervention affects the environment.
Geography is one of the most relevant subjects you could choose to study.
With growing interest in issues such as climate change, migration, environmental degradation, natural hazards and social cohesion, there has never been a better or more important time to study Geography.
Geographers are highly employable as you acquire a range of skills that are transferable into the working world.
Geography does not commit you to the Sciences or the Arts; it is a good bridge as it gives you something of each. It combines scientific rigour with a strong ‘human interest’ so it links naturally with a wide range of A Level subjects.
- Hazards
- Coastal Systems and Landscapes
- Water and Carbon Cycles
- Changing Places
- Population and the Environment
- Global Systems and Governance
You will be taught in a variety of ways through discussions, debates, independent research, multimedia, ICT, group work, presentations, film and more. There are also four occasions of compulsory fieldwork* and an optional overseas trip.*
*Both trips require a payment.
Many A Level Geography students pursue the subject or related disciplines such as Environmental Science, Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology or Economics at university.
