Studying A level Geography encourages learners to apply geographical knowledge, theory and skills to the world around them. This will enable learners to develop a critical understanding of the world’s people, places and environments in the 21st Century. Geography’s strength lies in its breadth, learners develop both knowledge and understanding of contemporary geographical concepts together with transferable skills including planning research projects, data collection, extended report writing, analytical, statistical and presentational skills, all of which are useful in higher education and a range of employment opportunities.
