Has Earth Day inspired you to take action to protect our planet?
Does saving the environment and sustainability mean more to you than anything else?
Do you stand in solidarity with climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg?
Knowledge is key to making an impact and helping to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues.
So why not consider Geography as one of your A Level choices at Central Saint Michael’s Sixth Form College?
Geography is an eye-opening study of the world, giving you an appreciation of everything from rainforests to volcanoes and humans’ place within it.
Because it’s an ever-changing subject, this means that we can be at the forefront of changes to our world. It also means that you can develop your knowledge through current issues, and you will use these issues to support your knowledge as case studies.
Physical Geography tells you everything you need to know about dynamic landscapes, so earthquakes, volcanoes, coasts, energy, floods, drought, climate change and hurricanes.
Human Geography covers dynamic places, so globalisation, regeneration, sustainability, water insecurity and energy security.
What else should you know?
Studying Geography can lead to employment opportunities across a wide range of sectors including business management, marketing, journalism, advertising, architecture, environmental conservation, research, town planning, government, the media and many more. For example, you can choose to specialise and opt for a science degree for a career in environmental management, or an arts degree for a career in planning.
There is no requirement to have studied GCSE Geography, but if you have, you will find that A Level builds on the skills and knowledge that you have already developed. The skills that you have developed in Maths and Science will also support you through the course.
You’ll do 2 days of fieldwork.
You’ll do your own independent Investigation, researching a geographical topic of your choice. This coursework makes up 20% of your final grade.
Our minimum entry requirements for this A Level are that you have at least five GCSEs at grade 5 and above, including English Language. At least two of these five should be at grade 6.
