Geography

Course summary

Course Outline Your A Level course will cover both the physical and human environments and the interaction of these processes that shape our world. It will also, importantly, show the applied side of the subject - how human intervention affects the environment and how people adapt and mitigate the effects of processes on their environment. In year 12 we start with subjects that are familiar to GCSE students by looking at natural hazards and coasts in greater depth and studying globalisation and shaping places. Year 13 students study wider global topics including the water and carbon cycle and global development and connections. There is also an opportunity to complete an NEA on a topic of your choice and a synoptic question which uses an unseen set of resources linked to topics already covered.
