Geography A Level

Do you want to explore how the environment works and how our interactions affect it?

Geography gives you the skills to understand the fast changing world we live in today. It is an exploration of the changes in space and place over time, looking at both human behaviour and natural world processes. It is therefore an extremely exciting subject and one that combines approaches from both social and physical sciences.

We provide a balance of both the human and physical topics. Some of the main areas covered are coastal landscape systems, hazardous earth (volcanoes and earthquakes), geography of disease, global migration systems, global governance of human rights, the earth’s life support systems and urban geography.

Grade 5 in GCSE Geography.

Many students go on to study degrees such as geography, geology, environmental science and civil engineering.

As Geography gives a wide range of analytical skills, it is highly valued in careers such as cartography, climate change analysis, meteorology, chartered surveying and estate agency, tourism and recreation management, local government, water conservation, as well as in businesses in the insurance and energy sectors.
