Advanced extension award in German

What is an Advanced extension award in German?

An Advanced extension award (AEA) in German will assess candidates' abilities to:
  • apply and communicate effectively their knowledge of German
  • use the skills of critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis
  • reach clear, logical and coherent judgements.

The AEA qualifications:

  • will be included in the UCAS tariff from 2006
  • are based on Advanced GCE subject criteria
  • test depth of understanding and ability to think critically and creatively
  • test connections between different elements of the subject
  • require no additional teaching or resources.

All AEAs will have a 100 per cent external assessment.
