AQA - This is an engaging and thought provoking A Level for anyone interested in contemporary environmental issues, systems thinking and sustainability. Real life case studies will be used to help you develop key scientific skills and knowledge as well as skills in communication, teamwork and critical thinking. You will study a range of topics including the living environment, energy, biological resources and sustainability through a combination of independent and interdependent learning.
