What will my programme of study include?

An A Level studies programme normally consists of a minimum of four AS Level subjects in year 1 (often with three subjects taken to ‘full’ A Level in year 2), individual tutorial provision and development of essential advanced study and key skills. An enrichment programme, designed to complement and enhance your study and time at college, is also included as part of your programme of activity as well as additional studies to meet your individual needs eg. English Language Studies for international students.
