Geography

Fieldwork is an integral part of a geography A-level. Students are required to complete at least four full days of fieldwork

Why study this course

  • You have a genuine interest in the world around you, how it works and how places and events are inter-linked
  • You are interested in the science behind landscapes and natural systems; how they are formed and how they are dynamic and constantly changing
  • You would like to know more about the way humans interact to change our natural environment, our urban areas and our global economy

Why Parrs Wood?

Fieldwork is an integral part of a geography A-level. Students are required to complete at least four full days of fieldwork and this will take place at the Rhyd-y-creuau field studies centre in Conwy, Wales. We visit the Criccieth beach to collect data on the coastal processes at work. We also consider the changing character of Betws-y-Coed and Llandudno, tourist honeypot sites.
