About the course
Are you a ‘human geographer’ or a ‘physical geographer’? Do
you enjoy looking at population distribution over the reasons why a volcano
might erupt? In A Level Geography you will study both the human physical
environment, and the causality that exists between activity and the state of
our planet. You will have the opportunity to develop a range of skills,
including photograph interpretation, data analysis, essay writing and map
reading and have access to extensive use of the College’s technology and
Geographical Information Systems.
