A consultation on rules and guidance for new AS and A levels in geology.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk

Detail

This consultation is about the rules and guidance we plan to put in place for new AS and A levels in geology. These rules will apply to the new geology AS and A levels that will be taught in schools in England from September 2017.

This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation ‘Developing geology, politics and PE short course for 2017 teaching’, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
