A-level Study Preparation

Students who successfully complete the Academic Preparation Programme are well prepared to study any subject to which they are suited, and students are guided and encouraged to discover which subjects lead to their desired degree and career path which they have an aptitude for and enjoy.  The A-level Subject Orientation module has been designed to give students two-week taster sessions of a variety of subjects, so they can discover which A-level subjects they are well-suited to and enjoy.  These taster sessions greatly reduce the likelihood of a student needing to retake a year of secondary school or missing out on a university offer due to poorly chosen A-level subjects.  A-level subjects covered in this module include subjects such as Accounting, Ancient History, Art & Design, Art History, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Computing, Economics, Film Studies, Languages, Mathematics, Geography, History, Law, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology and Sociology.
