Can Aqa (AS) + Ocr (A2)= full A level?

I am doing media studies a2 (OCR) along side my foundation course at university of cumbria.
I did media studies last year at my old school where I got an A in AS level (AQA).

My media studies teacher at UC tells me that it will work to have an AS in AQA and an A2 in OCR. I am just worried incase I go all this way and i dont even get a feasible A level qualification.

i am pretty sure it doesnt equate. For an A2 Qualification you must do all 6 units of that board (or the units required) and get a grade of E and above overall. Doing two different boards will mean you are not doing an A2 you are just doing 2 incomplete A2 qualifications

It doesn't work that way. I'm on OCR for Maths, but if I go to a different school that uses another exam board, I have to start the AS again.

You can change exam boards, within limits.

You have to organise a Transfer of Credit between two boards (I had to for Maths [AQA to Edexcel] and Biology [OCR to Edexcel B]).

AQA Media AS to OCR Media A2 is an acceptable transfer.

cheers michaelyus, that is just the documentation I have been looking for!

So I will have to fill out the details on the last page and send away in order to complete the merge?

Your exams officer will have to do most of that - you just need to provide your Statement of Results normally (to get the UCI and all the unit codes).
