From Mathematics to Media, Physics to Psychology, or Art to Accounting, you can choose from an extensive range of A Levels. We offer over 20 AS Levels, most of which can be taken through to A2 Level, giving you a real opportunity to progress to Higher Education or improve your career prospects significantly.
We will help you choose your A Level subjects based on your existing qualifications, subjects you enjoy or a career in which you’re interested. Each subject is taught within a specialist area of the College, using up-to-date equipment, and you’ll find course tutors approachable, enthusiastic and committed to helping you gain the best results. You might like to consider new subjects you haven’t studied before, such as Economics, Media Studies, Government & Politics, Sociology and more.

Personal Tutor
During your time at college, you’ll be assigned a Personal Tutor, who will be responsible for monitoring your academic progress. You will attend a tutorial session every week. Part of this time will be allocated to group activities, such as helping you to recognise your best learning style, study skills, revision skills, careers education, financial matters and much more. You will also have individual progress reviews to check on your progress against your targets.
How to choose your A Level subjects:
• What do you want to do after A levels? Do you have a particular career in mind? Do you want to study for a degree?
• Certain careers and degrees will call for particular subjects. If you aren’t sure, ask a member of our Advice and Guidance team, who are here to help you.
• If you want to progress to Higher Education, read the university prospectuses in our careers library or look at the UCAS website:
www.ucas.co.uk. They will often give special requirements. Russell Group universities and Oxbridge have very specific requirements.
• What have you enjoyed doing at GCSE level? In which subjects have you got the best grades?
• Choose a subject that you are really interested in. Each year, you’ll be taught for up to 160 hours in this subject, and will spend more time studying on your own.
• Find out about new subjects that you haven’t studied before. Take a look at the following pages – there’s a wide range of subjects to choose from.
