Pre-University Programmes

A Levels and AS Levels

AS/A Levels are one to two year, Level 3 courses. An AS Level is made up of three units and can form the first half of a full A Level. Whole A Levels are made up of six units. Successful completion can lead to entry into university or employment.

Access

Access courses are ideal for students who are over 19 years old and who do not hold the formal qualifications normally required for entry to university, or for those wishing to pursue a change of career.

BTEC National Diplomas

These vocational qualifications focus on work related areas of study and take two years to complete. A BTEC National Diploma is widely recognised as a route into university.
