Course Overview
Qualification: A Level Courses
- Geography is the study of people, place and environment and is key to understanding global issues such as climate change and sustainable development. It is one of the eight facilitating subjects that are preferred to gain access to the ‘Russell Group’ of top UK universities.
- You will develop knowledge of the population, economy, society and environment on a range of scales from local issues to global concerns over timescales of minutes to millennia giving you a unique multi-disciplinary understanding of the world.
- As an A level that covers both arts and science components, Geography gives you the chance to keep your options open. Geographers may pursue careers in sustainability, urban regeneration, energy supply, retail location and the management of hazards and climate change. They can also undertake careers in business, law, human rights, international relations or welfare. Geography is also a good choice for a future course in medicine or veterinary medicine developing skills of literacy, numeracy and problem solving.
- Staff in the Geography team love their subject and are highly qualified and experienced A Level teachers. They create a supportive environment in which students can learn and develop their knowledge, skills and understanding.
- We have a huge range of resources to help you to learn the subject – textbooks, fieldwork equipment, a dedicated ‘rock room’, journal subscriptions and online materials.
- Each year we invite guest lecturers to provide learners with up-to-date case-studies and information and we have established links with local universities.
Solihull Sixth Form College is a popular choice for A level Geography for young people in Solihull and Birmingham.
