Geography
We follow the OCR exam syllabus which has a classic content mix with contemporary and stimulating examples.
Parts of the AS course build on topics that students may have studied at GCSE (such as urban environments and coastal environments), while other aspects are new to most students. There are two papers: Managing Physical Environments and Managing Human Environments. The AS exams are taken together in the summer of the Lower Sixth.
1) MANAGING PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS (F761)
This module focuses on three major topics in physical geography, emphasising human-environment links, and drawing on case studies at a range of scales. (Exam: 1 hour 30 minutes – 50% of AS mark).
- Arid and Semi-Arid Environments
- Cold Environments
- Coastal Environments
2) MANAGING HUMAN ENVIRONMENTS (F762)
This module focuses on three major topics in human geography and the interaction between people and their physical and human environments. Case studies are drawn from global, national, regional and local scales. (Exam: 1 hour 30 minutes – 50% of AS mark).
