Guidance

Choosing the courses you want to study at sixth form is both exciting and important; getting it right will enable you to gain the appropriate qualifications required to take up a place at the university or employer of your choice. Our subject offer is based on the qualifications that will help you build up a portfolio to move on to university, Higher Level Apprenticeships or employment. This means that from the list, you are choosing the subjects that will prepare you for the next stages in your life. Some degrees (for example Medicine) have strict requirements that you should bear in mind when making your choices. Some degree subjects are less prescriptive in what they want you to study. Specific advice will be available at our Open Evening.

Our Extended Projects will help you balance the desire to test out subjects that sound exciting whilst ensuring that the qualifications you study are both valued by universities and employers and give you the widest variety of options for the future. You will be mentored by a supervisor throughout the project and your Extended Project will be an ideal talking point at university and employment interviews.
