A-LEVEL SUBJECTS
A-levels are mainly assessed through exams and involve greater in-depth study. A-levels also tend to be more academically focused than practical. You will also be expected to complete more self-directed study and reading for the subject areas you have chosen.
A-levels are excellent and well known, but can be demanding. They allow you to progress onto virtually any university course, as long as you choose a suitable combination of subjects and achieve appropriate grades. You will choose three subjects in Year 12 and continue with these until the end of Year 13.
Vocational Subjects
Vocational courses are specialised, work-based courses that primarily involve practical learning, but there are also some theoretical elements.
Some vocational courses also include one or two days a week of work placement as part of the course, which provides an opportunity for work-related learning. For further information, Anchor this to the content below on vocational courses
