Geography builds global awareness through the study of environmental management, sustainability, and globalization. Students engage with case studies of climate change, natural hazards, and development projects while evaluating strategies for sustainable growth.

History at A2 emphasizes depth and thematic studies, including Cold War politics, revolutions, decolonisation, and civil rights movements. Learners develop advanced historiographical skills, comparing interpretations and critically evaluating evidence across global contexts.

Psychology applies theoretical perspectives to real-world contexts, including health, abnormal, consumer, and organizational psychology. Students refine skills in research design, data analysis, and ethical evaluation while critically engaging with debates on bias, culture, and methodology.
