Geography (A-level)

While we have passed our January application deadline, we do invite late/further applications or expressions of interest (contact us using - sixthform@samuelward.co.uk).

A-level Geography is a fascinating course that covers a wide range of perspectives, from the local to the global. This means that Geographers develop in-depth knowledge of the processes and interactions in the physical and human worlds that shape our Earth. This discipline suits those who are curious, who like to travel and explore, and those who wish to become more aware and engaged global citizens. Learning in Geography is underpinned by a huge range of source materials: magazines, news media, documentary and film. Teaching is broad and varied and includes regular and routine practice of vital geographical skills such as producing digital maps, data analysis, planning and undertaking fieldwork.
