Sixth Form Conference in Geography attracts schools and pupils from across North Wales.

On Saturday (27^th September), Geography@Bangor hosted their first 6^th form conference for A/S and A2 Geography students at Bangor University. 

The event was free to attend for pupils and teachers from schools and colleges, with around 40 pupils and 10 teachers coming from both English-medium and Welsh-medium schools across North Wales. 

The day was split into a series of short talks, delivered by lecturers from Bangor, Aberystwyth and Chester universities that covered key topics in the WJEC syllabus for A-level Geography.  Pupils also got a flavour of university teaching and some great exam tips from two former A-level examiners. 

Pupils who attended commented that the talks were ‘very helpful’, ‘covered everything in the A/S course’, and that the ‘lectures were very good’.  We will be running this event next year, so if you or your school/college want to be involved next time, contact Dr Lynda Yorke (conference organiser).
