A Level Geography

Campus
Lincoln Campus
Start Date
September 2026
Duration
2 Year (Full-time)

Your AS / A Level geography course will cover both the physical and human environments and the complex interaction of processes that shape our world. It will also, importantly, show the applied side of the subject - how human intervention affects the environment and how people adapt and mitigate the effects of processes on their environment.

There is plenty of room for discussion and extended research, which will help you become an independent thinker and learner. By the time you get to your exams, you will be able to show your understanding of a range of opinions and be able to illustrate your answers with case studies from local, national and international examples.

Many A Level students do not yet have a clear idea of what kind of career they might want to pursue. If you are in this position, remember that geography as an A level gives you the chance to keep your options open, as it covers both arts and science components.

Geography is an obvious choice for careers in:

Sustainability and green issues

Urban regeneration

Energy supply

Retail location

Managing the effects of hazards and climate change.

You’ll need five GCSEs at grade Four / C or above including GCSE English and Maths. In addition, you’ll need either a grade Five / B in GCSE Geography or a grade Five / B in English and/or Science.

Assessment: During the course of your studies you will be set assignments and given tests based on exam style questions. This will allow you to both demonstrate and apply your geographical knowledge and understanding. The External Examinations are held in May and June.

Progression: Geography combines well with both arts and science subjects. It is also highly valued by universities as a subject choice.

Geography is a broad based subject which provides lots of opportunities for future progression.
