The new A level specification provides an exciting opportunity to explore a range of geographical challenges affecting life across the globe in the 21st century. Both physical and human geography is covered and so this course would appeal to any student interested in gaining a more in-depth understanding of the world that we live in. A total of four units are completed for the full A Level course: 1. Physical Systems is split into two components: Coastal Landscapes and Earth’s Life Support Systems. 2. Human Interactions is also split into two components: Changing Spaces, Making Places and Global Connections. 3. Geographical Debates offer a chance to look at two areas in greater detail. These will be Hazardous Earth and Exploring Oceans. 4. An Independent Investigation is to be completed by all full A Level candidates. This is a 3 – 4,000 word personal enquiry which must be based on a piece of fieldwork.

Geography graduates have one of the highest rates of graduate employment and studying geography will provide you with transferable skills and a firm base for life-long learning. Geographers look at issues from a wide perspective and develop a range of skills which are attractive to a very broad range of future employers.
