Key Stage 5

The Geography A-Level helps you to explore contemporary geographical issues which hit the news every day.  Issues include the causes and consequences of globalisation on UK society, politics and economy; the impact of global superpowers on conflict and global governance; how to manage increasing risk to global populations from hazards including floods and earthquakes; and the environmental and political consequences of climate change.  You will become an informed, critical thinker with an A-Level considered by the Russell group of top universities a facilitating subject for the range of  technical, analytical and critical skills it teaches.
