Structure and Requirements
The Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification consists of two parts - a compulsory Core and a choice of Options, which are made up of optional subjects or qualifications which the student may be following. Together, the Core and Options make up the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification. Options are the courses/programmes currently studied by the student alongside the Core e.g. General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced (AS / A levels), BTec, Principal Learning. The Options requirements depend on the level of the Welsh Baccalaureate being followed.
The structure of the Welsh Baccalaureate Core is the same at all three levels and consists of:
- Essential Skills Wales/Key Skills qualifications (Exact requirements depend on the level followed)
- Wales, Europe and the World (WEW)
- Personal and Social Education (PSE)
- Work-related Education (WRE)- work experience and a team enterprise activity
- Community Participation
- Language Module
- Individual Investigation (Exact requirements depend on the level followed)
The Welsh Baccalaureate section of the WJEC website details the exact requirements for the Advanced, Intermediate and Foundation levels.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
