Geography 9696

Cambridge International AS & A Level Geography (9696) is an academically rigorous course designed for learners who wish to develop a deep understanding of both physical and human geographical processes. It is suitable for students progressing from IGCSE Geography or an equivalent course and supports pathways into further education and a wide range of geography-related disciplines.

The course develops learners’ ability to understand interactions between people and environments, analyse spatial patterns, and evaluate contemporary geographical issues. Learning progresses from core physical and human geography concepts at AS Level to more specialised and in-depth topics at A Level, allowing learners to build both breadth and depth of understanding.

Geographical skills are central to the syllabus. Learners are expected to interpret data, analyse maps and diagrams, use case studies, and construct well-structured written arguments. These skills are developed progressively and assessed through written examinations.

The syllabus provides a strong academic foundation for further study in geography and related fields, encouraging critical thinking, independent learning, and informed decision-making about global and local challenges.
