Understand the World Around You
Cambridge International A-level Geography (9696) invites students to explore the dynamic relationship between people, places, and environments. Through the study of physical and human geography, learners develop critical thinking, research, and evaluation skills to analyse contemporary challenges facing our planet.
Based on the Cambridge International syllabus (9489), respected by top universities globally.
Analyse historical evidence, construct arguments, and interpret competing views of the past.
Study with live lessons, recorded sessions, expert feedback, and independent learning support.
Choose between European, American, and International History topics — all designed for global relevance.
Students take two written exams at AS Level:
Topics like rivers, weather, and rocks. Students answer short and structured questions.
Covers population, migration, and cities. Includes map reading and written responses.
Each paper is 1 hour 30 minutes and counts equally toward the final AS grade.
All exams are marked externally by Cambridge International.
To complete the full A Level in Geography, students take two more written exams:
Students choose two topics (like coasts, tropical environments, or hazards) and write structured and essay-style answers.
Students choose two topics (like global interdependence, environmental management, or economic change) and analyse real-world issues in depth.
Each paper lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and counts for 25% of the full A Level grade.
All exams are set and marked by Cambridge International.
Students can complete Cambridge A Level Geography in two ways:
Take AS Level exams at the end of Year 1, and A2 exams (Papers 3 & 4) at the end of Year 2.
Final A Level grade is based on performance across all four papers.
Take all four papers at the end of Year 2 in one exam session.
Ideal for students applying to universities that prefer final-year results.
Both routes lead to the same internationally recognised A Level qualification.
Urban Planning, Environmental Consultancy, Sustainability Management, Development Work, Climate Change Analysis, Disaster Risk Management, Cartography, Policy Analysis, Research, GIS and Remote Sensing, and many more.
Geographical knowledge is critical in an interconnected world — shaping business, policy, science, and education.
