The AQA Baccalaureate (known as the "AQA Bacc" for short) is a British educational qualification launched in April 2009[1] by the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance, or AQA, to be studied in Years 12 and 13. The innovative qualification includes the existing A and AS Levels as part of the assessment, as well as mandatory enrichment activities and an extended project. This is heavily based on the International Baccalaureate Diploma which is also studied from years 12-13 which is studied across the world.
