A & AS Level : Geography (9696)

The Geography syllabus builds upon skills gained at IGCSE (or equivalent) level study. Students widen their knowledge and understanding of the subject, while developing their investigative abilities and their evaluation and decision-making skills. The syllabus is wide-ranging and comprises a variety of options. For example, students can learn more about 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 students can also study subjects such as environmental management, global interdependence and economic transition.
