Below are brief details for General Studies, Geography, Geology and German

 

GENERAL STUDIES  AS/A2

 

General Studies is an A/AS Level course which is part of the core curriculum for all students in Year 12.  With a great emphasis on thinking skills, it is designed to cross subject boundaries and to provide a balance to the specialised nature of A/AS level courses.  It is widely accepted for university entrance, and most universities give credit for having followed the course.

GEOLOGY  AS/A2

Geology is the science of the earth, applying chemistry, physics and biology in order to unravel our Earth’s history.  We can analyse and predict geological processes occurring today (earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis etc.); and using geological techniques we can find out how to extract and process the Earth’s natural resources (minerals, oil, gas etc).  If you enjoyed aspects of Earth Materials in Year 10 Science, want to study an applied science A level and/or want to complement another science A level or Geography A level, or just fancy something different, then Geology could be for you!

GERMAN  AS/A2

During the two years students will cover a wide variety of contemporary topics with the emphasis placed on oral work, resulting in students being able to speak confidently about all aspects of life in German speaking countries.  Students are encouraged to take part in the exchange to Hamburg and find this invaluable experience of German life most enjoyable.  Material is taken from authentic sources such as newspapers, magazines and audio and video material and students will have the opportunity to read short stories and extracts from modern literature, if they wish.
