75+ A-Level Geography Investigation NEA Ideas
In A-Level by Think Student Editor January 5, 2021 Leave a Comment
A-Level coursework is one of the most interesting and stressful parts of an A-Level course: you finally get to have control over what you research and write about…but where do you start? An NEA or Independent Investigation is completely your own research report. Besides all the formatting questions, the first challenge you have to overcome is figuring out what question to research. Where do you begin? How do you filter out all your ideas into just one question?
Don’t worry if you don’t have an idea for your NEA straight away – I definitely didn’t! This article is here to give you some inspiration for the subject for your A-Level Geography NEA.
What is an A-Level Geography NEA?
A-Level Geography NEA is the coursework part of Geography A-Level . It’s a compulsory part of the A-Level, meaning that it’s graded against a set of assessment objectives, like your exams. For your NEA coursework, you choose your own question based on either physical or human geography .
Physical geography NEA ideas could relate to the coast, glaciers, or other areas of the environment. Typically, NEA questions will relate to a topic you’ve studied as part of the exam portion of your A-Level, but they don’t have to be.
Human geography NEA ideas could relate to urban areas, migration, or globalisation and other human development areas. Most of the time, they’ll be focused on your local area , but it doesn’t have to be if you feel like you’d be too restricted!
Linked here are the guidelines for A-Level Geography NEA for all four UK exam boards: AQA , OCR , Pearson Edexcel , and WJEC Eduqas .
What does an A-Level Geography NEA look like?
The exam boards, and your school, allow you to compile your research findings however you like . You can include graphs, charts, photos, in any colour or order you want.
However, there will probably be some rough guidelines, as an NEA is expected to be formatted like a typical research paper . Graphs, charts, and photos should be labelled, and you should use a sensible font and letter size.
The Royal Geographical Society has a student guide to completing an NEA, linked here .
How long is an A-Level Geography NEA?
Generally, there is no official cap on the word count for an NEA report, but most exam boards and schools suggest 3000-4000 words. 2000 words is generally thought to be too little, and anything above 6,000 words is considered too much.
The reason for an official cap on an NEA word count is that everyone’s research is unique, and you’ll have different things to say than other people, which may take more or less words.
My A-Level Geography NEA was 5,000 words, so even though it was a little over the recommended word limit, it was still allowed. When writing your NEA, try and keep your sentences clear and concise.
How much of A-Level Geography is an NEA worth?
For the four UK exam boards, an A-Level Geography NEA is worth 20% of your A-Level. This may not seem like a lot relative to the amount of work you’ll put into an NEA, but it’s worth more than you might think. It essentially replaces one exam.
It’s also worth it for the experience, as many of the formatting and writing techniques you pick up during an NEA can be taken into higher education.
This Think Student article has a list of the most respected A-Level subjects, of which A-Level Geography is a part!
What makes a good A-Level Geography NEA idea?
An NEA is a very individual experience, and what makes an idea “good” is also quite personal . It’s a good idea to pick a question based on something you’re actually interested in, because your enthusiasm will show through your work and boost your investigation that much more.
“Good” NEA ideas are usually the ones that allow you to use several different data sets . This means you aren’t just collecting one type of data, and you have to use different data presentations and a wide range of analysis.
Similarly, your NEA idea should be broad enough to explore a few different ideas, but also be focused in one particular area , e.g. coastal management. NEA ideas are usually either a topic from physical geography or human geography, but it can sometimes be a mix of both.
A-Level Geography NEA ideas
Below is a list of ideas for your A-Level Geography NEA, split into physical and human geography. These are just ideas to get you thinking about what you want to write about – your NEA title needs to be formatted as a question.
I hope these ideas have given you inspiration. Good luck writing your NEA!

AQA A Level Geography 2024 Prediction Paper
Please note this only contains questions on: Water, Carbon, Coasts and Hazards topics.
I create these papers through taking the specification and colour coding what has come up before. I then look for patterns, what hasn’t come up, and tricky parts of the spec that they might sneak in. I teach AQA presently, have previously taught Eduqas, and I tutor Edexcel. This wide ranging knowledge of different exam boards gives me the ability to have a good grasp on the range and style of Geography A Level questions.
It’s just a prediction, so see what you think! At present there is no mark scheme as I wanted to get this up and out before the exam.
