You will study a range of contemporary human and physical topics and explore the complex inter-relationships between them. Topics include atmospheric and tectonic hazards, changing coasts, population and migration issues, global governance, water and carbon cycles and finally the concept of changing places and spaces. Two compulsory fieldtrips will be run to prepare students for their exams and their assessed written project, develop their analytical skills and to develop their ability to work as part of a team.
A minimum of Grade 6 in GCSE Geography is desirable. Please note students are expected by the exam board to attend 4 days of fieldwork; this is an advance notice that the course fieldtrip charge will total approximately £250 across the two years. This will involve a three day residential trip (to explore coastal landscapes) and a 1 day trip to a city; these trips will form 20% of the final assessed grade.
Exam 1: (40%) 2 hours and 30 minutes. 120 marks. Topics: Coasts, Water and carbon cycle and Hazards. Exam 2: (40%) 2 hours and 30 minutes. 120 marks. Topics: Global Groupings and Governance, Place and Population. Fieldwork Project: (20%). 60 marks. 3000-4000 words marked by teacher and moderated by AQA.
