WHY STUDY THIS COURSE? Geography is a subject about the environment, how places differ, how physical systems work and about how people interact with the world. Geography is about real-world events, their impacts, and their different interpretations. As a geographer you will develop many skills that are valued by employers, including critical thinking skills and a multidisciplinary approach to solving problems. As a subject linking the arts and the sciences it is highly flexible in terms of what other subjects you can combine it with. WHAT WILL I LEARN? The A level geography specification is an exciting course which will encourage students to engage critically with the ‘big ideas’ in world around them and explore how people strive to make the world a better place to live in. Examining the awe-inspiring natural processes of our beautiful planet, helps us to appreciate and value its landscapes, oceans, and ecosystems. By studying different places, we inevitably delve into issues of culture and identity. Why do some places embrace multi-culturalism, why do others maintain strong social division? Geography is about places; people live in places and in turn are shaped by them. The course strengthens the geographical and fieldwork skills gained at GCSE and delves more deeply into content. The integrated nature of the discipline enables students to think critically and consider the complexity and interconnectedness of topics. Geography can be divided into two main branches: Human Geography is a social science that studies how humans interact with the planet. Physical Geography is a branch of earth science, which looks at the natural elements of the world, including the atmosphere, land, and oceans.
