Topic coverage by component
These links cover selected parts of the specification. Use your school course and the official specification to check the full requirements.
Changing landscapes and changing places
- Coastal landscapes (option): Coastal processes and management — partial
- Glaciated landscapes (option): Glacier change and measurement — partial
- Changing places: Evaluating regeneration — partial
Four and six figure grid references · Map scale and distance · Bearings · Contours and relief · Gradient · Climate graphs · Population pyramids · Scatter plots · Choropleth maps · Percentage change · Mean, median and range · Source evaluation · Interquartile range · Standard deviation · Spearman rank correlation
Global systems and global governance
- Water and carbon cycles: Drainage basins as systems, Forest conversion and distant demand — partial
- Global migration: no dedicated concept lesson yet

Contemporary themes in geography
Within economic growth, select India, China or development in an African context. That internal context choice is not yet a separate saved preference.
- Tectonic hazards: Plate motion and tectonic hazards, Hazard, exposure and vulnerability — partial
- Ecosystems (option): Ecosystem interdependence — partial
- Economic growth and challenge (option): Measuring development, Global value chains — partial
- Energy challenges and dilemmas (option): Power, energy and reliable supply — partial
- Weather and climate (option): Adaptation to changing conditions — partial

Independent investigation
- Independent investigation: Sampling and representativeness, What a statistical test can establish — partial

Fieldwork and independent assessment
At least four days of fieldwork must include physical and human geography.
The independent investigation remains the learner’s own question, analysis and writing. These formative lessons cannot provide a project-specific assessed report or model answer.
The September 2026 edition requires the fieldwork declaration by 5 May.
Case and example requirement slots
Check the requirements for each example you study. Assign saved examples to these roles from Your practice.
- Tectonic hazards in contrasting contexts: Contrasting environments; Processes; Impacts; Responses
- Selected India, China or African development context (option): Country-specific economic growth; Political and social contexts; Inequality; Environmental pressures
Version 4 changes the head-of-centre fieldwork declaration date to 5 May in the assessment year. The obsolete PDF filename does not identify the edition.
Ocean governance is compulsory and lacks dedicated content here. Antarctic governance does not automatically meet it.
Economic growth needs a chosen country/context sequence. Weather, ecosystem and glacial reuse is partial; full A-level process depth remains to be written.

Check your taught examples
- A tectonic hazard eventName and date the event.; Separate the tectonic process from exposure and vulnerability.; Use contrasting examples where your specification requires them.
- Coastal managementIdentify the defended or realigned coastal stretch.; Explain how the intervention changes risk and sediment or habitats.; Evaluate consequences for different people and timescales.
- Water supply and securityDefine the supply area and period.; Connect physical availability, demand and infrastructure.; Evaluate financial, energy, ecological and distributional effects.
- RegenerationDefine the project boundary and baseline.; Distinguish announced objectives from completed outcomes.; Evaluate outcomes for residents, workers and businesses separately.
- Energy supply and transitionsDistinguish capacity from generation.; Identify the technology, location and time period.; Assess reliability, access and environmental consequences.
- An ecosystem and its managementIdentify the ecosystem’s scale and processes.; Explain interactions and human pressures.; Do not attribute every change to a single cause.
- Migration and population changeDefine the origin, destination and period.; Distinguish internal migration from international movement.; Use evidence about differing household choices.
- Global production and connectionsTrace flows of goods, investment, labour or information.; Distinguish exports from domestically retained value.; Explain uneven opportunities and dependencies.
- Place and changing meaningsDefine the neighbourhood or place.; Combine numerical indicators with lived experience.; Compare whose perceptions and outcomes the evidence represents.
