A Level Geography

Course Summary

Geography is an important subject of study as it gains the student a larger understanding of the world and the way people interact with their physical environment and globally with each other.

The first half of the course is the AS level divided into human and physical topics. Students will study the core subjects of rivers, floods and management for the physical section and populationchange for the human section. Students then choose one other physical topic and one human topic. Unit 2 of AS geography will be based on a piece of fieldwork or an investigation carried out by the student.

The final section is A2, which is also divided into human and physical topics. Students must study three topics; one from physical and one from human, then a free choice. A-level geography also includes a piece of coursework, which will be a piece of fieldwork carried out by the student.

The completion of AS and A2 equates to fulfilment of a full A-level. Read on to find out more about our A Level Geography distance learning course and how you can learn with our amazing materials and online support.
