The Royal Anthropological Institute and AQA Awarding Body are pleased to announce that they will work together in to develop an A level qualification in anthropology.
Preliminary work on an A level has been carried out by the RAI over several years, with financial support from the Higher Education Funding Council for England and Economic and Social Research Council. AQA will now develop the qualification in detail, in consultation with specialists drawn from the RAI. AQA will then seek accreditation of the qualification by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Following (and subject to) accreditation, the RAI and AQA anticipate working together in the longer term to support delivery and resourcing of the A level, which is expected to become the flagship of the RAI’s programme of education in anthropology at pre-University and FE levels.
