Entry requirements

The minimum general requirement for entry to a full-time two year Advanced Level course is:

  • seven passes in GCSE at grade C or above (preferably including Maths and English) for students wishing to study four AS level subjects

  • five passes in GCSE at grade C or above (preferably including Maths and English) for students wishing to study three AS level subjects

  • four passes in GCSE at grade C or above (preferably including Maths and English) for students wishing to study two AS level subjects
Passes at Intermediate level in vocational qualifications (eg GNVQ, National Certificates) will be accepted as equivalent to GCSE, where appropriate, for entry to Applied A level courses. Subjects may only be studied at A2 level if a grade E or above has been achieved at AS level N.B. Many Advanced level subjects require particular entry qualifications in addition to the above. See the individual subject entries in this brochure.

Please note: There is no guarantee that a particular course will run if demand is small or the course cannot be staffed. Nor can a place be guaranteed on an oversubscribed course. Similarly, no guarantee can be made that all combinations of subjects will be possible, though every effort will be made to meet individual requirements. This brochure has been prepared on the basis of the latest available information. Some of the information contained may be subject to change due to factors beyond the college’s control.
