Course summary

Geography is exciting and relevant to a changing and modern world. It influences many of the issues that you see in the news, making it up to date and dynamic. Geography is compatible with most A Level subject combinations, as it draws on many disciplines. It is valued by top universities as a facilitating subject and as an indicator of academic rigour in candidates. The NEA (Non Examined Assessment) is an individual fieldwork investigation on a topic chosen by each student. Students will be prepared for this by taking part in a residential fieldtrip, which is the best way to see Geography in action.
