Course overview

A Levels are the most popular means of entry to University for 16-18 year olds. If you are 19+, A levels are still available to you BUT you may want to find out more about HEFCs.

The second year of A Levels is called A2. Our students typically study three of these having studied 4 at AS in their first year. We are happy to accept applications from students wishing to transfer to our A2 after studying AS elsewhere
