The content of the specification will challenge your view of the world and encourage you to think locally and globally. Fieldwork and research plays a key role, alongside developing your ability to think for yourself. What will I be studying on the course? We follow Edexcel specification code 9GE01. There are two taught units as follows: Unit 1 Dynamic Landscapes AS Only Tectonic Processes, Disasters and Management Coastal Landscapes and Change A-Level Water Insecurity – processes, change, and 21st Century conflicts Carbon Cycle and Energy Security, and links to global climate Unit 2 Dynamic Places AS Only Globalisation – acceleration, impacts on culture, and ethical challenges Diverse Places – contrasts, challenges, conflicts and management A-Level Superpowers – maintain power, influence and impacts and contesting sphere of influence Option 1: Health, Human Rights and the need for intervention What will I be doing in lessons? Lessons will often follow an enquiry based approach, focused on issues. Year 12 students are required to undertake a five day residential field trip to Northern Ireland in order to develop skills and techniques as well as better knowledge and understanding of the topics. These are examined (for AS) and give you core skills and techniques for your year 13 fieldwork.
A grade 6 in GCSE Geography or grade 6 in a GCSE Science and either English Language or Literature.
At AS assessment is entirely through examination, and this includes our NI fieldwork in January. At A2 although the majority is examination, Unit 4 (20%) is examined through coursework, based on independent fieldwork. We can guide you, but you have free choice to do fieldwork on anything across the course. Unit 3 (20%) is a decision making paper, focusing on one part of the world and drawing together content from across the syllabus.
