- Unit 4 Contemporary themes in geography (A: Tectonic hazards, B: Economic growth and challenge in China, Energy challenges and dilemmas)
- Unit 5 Independent investigation (non-examined assessment 3000-4000 words)
These units cover a wide range of motivating and challenging topics, combining well with other A Levels in Humanities, Languages or Science.
Both AS and A Level provide opportunities for in depth fieldwork or research. The course should equip you with a range of skills, understanding and knowledge, useful in employment or higher education.
