Hi, I’m doing a level geography going into year 13. It’s definitely possible to do a level geography without the GCSE, but first why have you considered it if you didn’t do the gcse? Was it not on offer? The human geography side from year 12 is new content, your history and English literature will help with that side. However, the physical geography side often develops from stuff you learn in GCSE, like coasts, rivers, oxbow lakes, meanders, volcanoes, earthquakes etc. I’d recommend you watch some you tube videos on physical geography topics for GCSE or do some prior reading on BBC bitesize.

First of all, I chose to do A level Geography as I figured out it would open up more doors for me than picking something like English language or Psychology in my own opinion anyway. I liked the human side to Geography A level like climate change, barriers of protection like groynes, stuff like tectonic plates and coastal erosion. I picked GCSE History and my school wouldn't allow me to do two humanities hence why I didn't pick Geography.
Thank you for the advice about learning GCSE content on physical geography, I definitely will be doing my research on that! Also, the beneficial side to what you've mentioned is that I do like what you've mentioned on physical geography.
