Michael completed his Geography A-level 2 years ago and went on to study at University. Geogarific asked him to look back on his time at college to give us an insight into his experience, and give new students some helpful tips on how to make the most of it.

Why did you decide
to study Geography at A-level?
I chose to study geography
as it is a good precursor to the kind of degree I wanted to do. It also
provides an invaluable balance between fieldwork, independent study and essay
writing.
What other subjects
did you study and did they complement each other?
I studied Geology and
Biology alongside Geography. Geology and Geography have an obvious cross over;
this allowed me to interchange knowledge between the two subjects providing
greater depth to my understanding of the physical processes that shape the
Earth.
