You can choose from 45 A Level/V Level subjects covering everything from sciences and mathematics to languages, humanities and creative arts. This wide range means you can shape a combination that matches your interests and career goals.
Most students study three or four A Levels alongside each other. If you're aiming for a competitive route such as Medicine or a Mathematics-related degree, we'll guide you towards the right subject pathway to support your application.
You'll need five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above, including English and Mathematics. Certain subjects may have additional requirements, so please get in touch with our School Liaison Team if you'd like to check the details for a specific course.
A Levels are assessed mainly through exams. You'll sit these at the end of your two-year programme, giving you time to build your knowledge and prepare thoroughly.
A Levels take two years to complete. This gives you the time to explore your subjects in depth and develop the academic skills you'll carry into university and beyond.
