The focus of the new A-level specification is a study of our ever-changing planet and human interactions with it. There is a 50:50 split between human and physical topics, including coastal systems, natural hazards and urban environments. You will be required to take part in 4 fieldwork activities over the course of the 2 years and produce a fieldwork report as part of the assessment at A-level. Geographers are highly sought after by employers and universities, owing to the wide range of skills and knowledge gained from study of the subject. It is a subject which is highly regarded by Russell Group universities and Geographers report high levels of satisfaction when studying degree level Geography. Geography complements both the Arts and Sciences, so is an ideal choice of subject to support your chosen pathway. Career opportunities which Geography facilitates are wide and varied, including diplomacy, government, environmental careers and business.
