Geography
A Level
| Geography Resources |
Students follow the OCR Syllabus A. Those taking Geography should be interested in the world about them and in learning about people, places and environments. A thorough grounding in both Physical and Human Geography is provided and the syllabus also promotes an investigative approach, with Fieldwork exercises being an integral part of both the AS and A Level courses.

ASSESSMENT
The three units for AS are assessed by two written papers in Physical
and Human Geography and a Geographical Investigation paper, partly based
on a fieldwork enquiry where we study the sand dunes at Dawlish Warren.
The three A2 units are assessed by two written papers on Options in Physical and Human Geography and People and Environments, the third unit consisting of a 2500 word Personal Investigative Study.
WHERE IT LEADS
A Level Geography is a popular course which can be taken equally well
in combination with Arts or Science subjects. At university it can be
taken as either a BA or a BSc and it provides an excellent stepping stone
for a wide variety of careers including teaching, planning and management.
