Full-time Prospectus | A Level Study Programmes
And on to university!
Results day marked the beginning of the next stage for our departing students. Some packed their rucksacks and set off for gap year adventures in places such as Australia and Thailand. But the thoughts of many turned to taking a quick crash course in how to boil an egg, finally daring to buy those compulsory texts from the reading list and preparing for the strenuous demands of Freshers’ Weeks and, eventually, their first lectures!
Nearly 500 Petroc students set off for university to every corner of Britain to study a mind-boggling range of subjects – everything from Architecture to Zoology. We are delighted that so many of our students achieved their first choice of university and it was particularly heartening to see so many girls heading off to become the next generation of scientists. These included Megan Jones-Dellaportas (Medicine at Exeter), Madeline Mansell (Chemistry at Cardiff), Mollie O’Hare (Medicine at Leicester), Siobhan Nickels (Pharmacology at Cardiff), Megan Spearman (Medicine at University College London), Esme Milton (Molecular Biology at Kings College London) and Claire Dyer (Medicine at Kings College London).
It was fantastic to see so many of our students setting their sights high and applying to top Russell Group universities. It was even better to see so many of them achieving those places with fantastic results. There isn’t space to tell you about all of them, but here’s a short selection: Matthew Turner (Geography at Cambridge), Molly Gibson-Mee (Classics and English at Oxford), Grace Dearson (English at Exeter), Timon Hynes (Physics at Warwick), Emily Coffey (Law at Manchester), Emily Willoughby, (Geography at Cardiff), Matthew Quance (Medicine at Exeter), Jamie Seymour-Smith (Linguistics and Maths at York), James Muddimer (History at Bristol), Laura Hellens (English at Royal Holloway), Barnaby Meadowcroft (Law at Kings College London), Sapphire Goddard (Sport at Bath) and many more.
Congratulations to all of you and all the many, many students there hasn’t been room to mention in person. We can’t wait to hear about what you all do next!

Access to Higher
Education (HE) We offer Access to HE diplomas in Science, Humanities, Health and Social Care and Art and Design.
These courses are specifically designed for learners aged over 19, who wish to take a university level course but don’t have the normal entrance requirements for HE. They are recognised by universities and other HE institutions as an alternative to standard A Level entry.
For more information, contact our Guidance Centre on 01271 338125.
A Levels are changing
The Government is in the process of reforming A Levels, so the content and assessment for some subjects may change. It won’t affect which A Levels you can study at Petroc, but we may need to adjust our entry requirements for certain subjects.
