Teaching of Science in Society started in September
From September 2008 Science in Society replaced Science for Public Understanding. The new AS course is an updated SPU course but with the great advantage that it leads on to a full A level in Science in Society. AS will be examined for the first time in June 2009 and A2 in June 2010. To find out more about Science in Society and view resources on the course web site click here.
