Entry requirements
To study AS/A levels you will normally need:
• A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above
• It is possible to progress to university without GCSE English Language and Maths at C grade or above, but your options will be reduced if you have not achieved these qualifications and it is likely to impact on your future employment opportunities. We strongly recommend that it you do not have GCSE English Language and Maths at grade C or above that you retake them as part of your A Level programme.

Additional information
As an A level student you can choose from over 35 A level subjects, vocational awards and GCSE Maths and English. You can choose to study either:
3 â€" 4 A levels
OR
2 â€" 3 A levels and a BTEC Award
OR
3 â€" 4 A levels and GCSE Maths/English
We work in close partnership with local schools which enables us to run minority subjects that have small numbers. It may be that you attend classes in one of our partner institutions. You will have a clear understanding at the interview stage about your timetable and where your lessons occur.
A levels are divided into two courses, AS taken in the first year and A2 in the second year; combined together they equal a full A level. Both the AS and A2 courses comprise 2 units. On the whole, A levels are assessed through formal examinations at the end of the AS programme and then again at the end of the A2 programme. In some practically based subjects there is a coursework component. Both AS and A2 qualifications count towards the requirements for university entrance.
*Students aged 16-18 will not be required to pay the full course fee, in most cases your fee will not exceed £150. Please contact us if you need more information regarding fees for full-time courses.
