Your NEA is an exciting highlight of your geography A-level journey. It’s a unique opportunity to explore a topic that fascinates you, connect your geographical knowledge to a place you know well, and gather and evaluate your own data. The skills you develop through the NEA are valued by employers and universities, including developing critical thinking, research, problem solving, data collection and analysis skills.
A well-written NEA will include critical and focused use of literary sources linking your study to theory, application of quantitative and statistical techniques (where relevant), well-targeted methods and conclusions that are evidence-based and linked to the initial research questions. It is your opportunity to demonstrate self-reliance, initiative and independent decision-making to produce interesting geographical knowledge. At the start of the process, selecting a topic and a title can be a challenge. This article suggests some ways to get going.
