For those students who choose to study Geography at A Level, we follow the AQA specification with a final two exams to sit at the end of Year 13: one in Human Geography and one in Physical Geography. During the two year course, students will learn about topic such as water and carbon cycles, urban environments, changing places, hazards and coasts.
The Sixth Form offers two residential fieldtrips to complement the exam specification for AQA Geography. These include using the Field Studies Council Centre at Juniper Hall in Dorking and also the Barcelona Field Studies Centre. It is a popular options subject, and students make the transition from GCSE to A-Level with confidence. The independent coursework component at A-Level builds on experienced gained on the fieldtrips and from local investigations.
In recent years students have gone on to study Geography at Russel Group Universities, along with other degrees with a Geographical element. Geography allows students to pursue careers in variety of fields and offers a variety of skills which are highly transferable and desirable in a fast changing world economy.
