A Level Geography

Why should you study Cambridge A Level Geography?

The Cambridge A Level Geography syllabus builds upon skills gained at IGCSE/GCSE (or equivalent) level of study. You will widen your knowledge and understanding of the subject, while developing your investigative abilities and your evaluation and decision-making skills.

The syllabus is wide-ranging and comprises a variety of options. For example, you can study topics such as hydrology and fluvial geomorphology, atmosphere and weather, rocks and weathering, population change and settlement dynamics. The syllabus considers a range of environments, from tropical to arid, and you can also study subjects such as environmental management, global interdependence and economic transition.

Note that our experienced University Services Adviser can advise on A Level courses and all aspects of university entrance including application support and references. These services are easy to access though our booking form.
