You can pick and choose from our wide range of A-Levels, certificates and diplomas to ensure you achieve the best qualifications to progress on to university or work.
We recommend you choose up to four subjects.
A-Levels
A-Levels are academic, examination-based qualifications recognised as a traditional qualification to gain entry to universities and higher education. A-Levels focus mainly on academic subjects and qualify for UCAS points.

Entry requirements
All students must meet the minimum entry requirements which are:
- At least five GCSEs at grade 4 or above (one Vocational or Technical qualification at Merit or above may be counted), two of which it is recommended to be GCSE English Language and Maths grade 4.
- Students may be able to resit either English or Maths alongside some programmes of study with a grade 3.
- At least grade 4 (or Merit for Vocational or Technical qualifications) in any subject(s) that you have taken at GCSE and wish to continue studying at A-Level.
- In addition, some subjects have special entry requirements which you need to meet in addition to the above. For the most up-to-date information on subject specific requirements please see below.
If you wish to start with four A-Levels, rather than three, then the following entry requirements apply:
- At least 8 GCSEs at grades 9-6, including English Language and Maths, and at least four GCSEs at grades 9-7.
Subject specific entry requirements
In addition, there are special entry requirements for certain subjects.
