GCE from 2008 | Geography

More about our GCE from 2008 in Geography 

What teachers are saying: 

“I have always liked Edexcel, but didn’t feel ready for the new spec when it first came out. But now I realise it’s the best choice for my students, and I know that there is a lot more support, so it really is the future for geography in our school.”

What learners are saying:

“It empowers me to understand interconnected global issues and contribute to a better future.” 

The only specification that:

• was developed with the full input of the Geographical Association and Royal Geographical Society, with consultation on new content undertaken with representatives from most leading HE institutions
  
  
• is contemporary enough that it’s proving as attractive to economics and business studies students as it is to biologists and scientists
  
  
• offers students the opportunity to develop independent study skills and conduct research into a single topic – from classics like glaciation through to contemporary cultural geography. Students have the chance to develop their expertise beyond what is possible with any other board, giving them the skills that employers want and preparing them for Ucas applications and interviews at high-calibre universities
  
  
• builds progression from the KS3 Key Concepts through the new GCSE criteria (especially if you are doing our B specification), allowing you to successfully market and grow geography in your centre by avoiding curriculum repetition
  
  
• has taken the bold decision to remove outdated areas of the subject that are now out of step with higher education geography
  
  
• future-proofs geography in your centre. Students like our engaging, 21st-century geography that explores the important ideas and debates relevant to them in today’s world
  
  
• has plenty of choice of official and endorsed textbooks and unit guides
  
  
• gives you direct access to our geography team via phone, face-to-face contact, email and web. The Geography Subject Advisor and Senior Examiners are available by phone and email; traditional and online training is available; and you can also use our Ask the Expert service and our geography web forum.
