Science in Society and the AQA Baccalaureate

NB Science in Society as a 'broadening subject' is not yet accredited. Necessary procedures are underway with a view to this combination being available for award from June 2011

AQA is developing a baccalaureate qualification that requires three A levels, a ‘broadening’ AS level, an extended project and specified hours of enrichment activity. Currently in pilot the first generally available awards are planned for June 2010. http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/bacc.php

In the pilot the recognised ‘broadening’ AS levels are General Studies, Critical Thinking and Citizenship. A review is being undertaken following the pilot and the necessary discussions are already underway to consider adding AS Science in Society as a recognised broadening subject for awards from June 2011.
