Geography is a demanding subject, but one which combines well with many other A Levels, both in the arts and the sciences. One of the most popular combinations is combining geography with one or more science subjects eg biology or chemistry, as well as mathematics or physical education. Students will be trained to apply information in a logical manner and make reasoned applications to situations around the world. The course allows for specialisation and progression to higher education and employment. It is also a natural progression from GCSE to A Level where many topic areas are revisited in more detail. Students will be given the opportunity to develop fieldwork skills and to study geographical issues and impacts.
Minimum of grade 6 in GCSE Geography.
