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. You will also have the opportunity to join the popular Biology field trip to study research methods and ecology. Environmental Science is a great accompaniment to Geography, Biology, Physics and Maths, but will add breadth and depth to any A Level portfolio. Careers options will include STEM (Science, Technology and Maths) industries including engineering, food, energy, conservation and health and non- STEM opportunities in media, leisure and planning.
