Course Summary
Course Details
Why this course?
We use the Edexcel exam board. The reason behind this is because we use Edexcel at GCSE. The A Level is a continuum of the GCSE, therefore students can see the links between the topic. Geography looks at the ‘big ideas’ in the world and how people strive to make our world a better place to live in. We potentially face dramatic changes to our world through climate change. Learning about physical process such as the carbon cycle helps understand the role of energy use in influencing climate change and importantly, helps us make judgements on the arguments presented in the media. In addition, geography examines the awe-inspiring natural processes of our beautiful planet, helping us to appreciate and value its landscapes, oceans and ecosystems. By studying different places, we inevitably delve into issues of culture and identity. Why do some places embrace multi-culturalism, why do others maintain strong social division? Geography is about places; people live in places and in turn are shaped by them.Geographers are valued in the workplace for their multidisciplinary approach to solving problems and for the range of data analysis at which they are adept. In geography, students are taught to interpret maps using GIS, data presented in graphs and as numbers, all valuable skills in any walk of life. Anyone choosing to study geography at A level will be surprised by its wide appeal and amazed by its ability to both inspire and transform their life!
